In a quadratic function, y = a(x²) the smaller the coefficient "a", the larger is the parabola:
From widest to narrowest:
1) y=1/3x² (Widest)
2) y= -1/2x² (Wider)
3) y=-9x² (narrowest)
12in.=1ft
so 240in./12in. = 20ft
Answer:
The equation in point - slope form of a line that passes through the points (3,-5) and (-8,4) is: y-(-5) = -(9/11) (x-3) or y+5 = -(9/11) (x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
P1=(3,-5)=(x1,y1)→x1=3, y1=-5
P2=(-8,4)=(x2,y2)→x2=-8, y2=4
Equation in Point-Slope Form: y-y1=m(x-x1)
Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Replacing the known values:
m=[4-(-5)] / (-8-3)
m=(4+5) / (-11)
m=(9) / (-11)
m=-(9/11)
Equation in the point - slope form:
y-(-5) = -(9/11) (x-3)
y+5 = -(9/11) (x-3)
