Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment
Required
Determine the slope of the line
From the attachment, we have the following points

and

The slope m is then calculated using:

Substitute values for the x's and y's




<em>Hence, the slope is 0</em>
This is the formula to solve for the vertex.
Example Question:
Find the vertex of y = -0.5x^2 + 100x
-b/2a = -100/2(-0.5) = -100/-1 = 100
The x coordinate of the vertex is 100.
Best of Luck!
P.S. this is 1000th question i've answered :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There's no "solving" to be done because its an expression, but im assuming the question wants you to factor.

First, factor out a b^2

Factor the trinomial. What two numbers multiply to equal -10 but add to equal -3? They are -5 and +2
