Plotting the graph from the given data points, it comes out to be a straight line with positive slope. So, both the variables i.e amount of rice and amount of water are in a linear relationship. They are directly proportional to each other.

As the amount of rice increases, the water needed to cook the rice also increases. Plotting a graph taking amount of rice in abscissa and amount of water in ordinate, a straight line was obtained.

Here, amount of rice is the independent variable and amount of water is dependent variable as it depends on the amount of rice.

Find the vertex of the parabola whose equation is y = x^2 + 8x + 12.

horsena [70]

The vertex of a parabola is the point where the parabola crosses its axis of symmetry. If the coefficient of the x 2 term is positive, the vertex will be the lowest point on the graph, the point at the bottom of the “ U ”-shape.

The vertex of the parabola whose equation is y = x^2 + 8 x + 12 will be :
(x , y) = (-4,-4)
