We have the following expression:
 (x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
 Let's rewrite the given expression:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
 Answer:
 
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
 
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0

The equation of a parabola is y=x^2-10x+27. Write the equation in vertex form
azamat

Answer:

\large \boxed{y = (x - 5)^{2} + 2 }

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² - 10x + 27

y = ax² + bx + c

This is the general form of the equation for a parabola.

We must convert it to the vertex form

y = (x - h)² + k, where (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex.

We can do this by completing the square.

\begin{array}{rcll}y & = & x^{2} - 10x + 27 & \\y - 27 & = & x^{2} - 10x & \text{Subtracted 27 from each side}\\y - 27&= & x^{2} - 10x + 25 - 25 & \text{Added and subtracted (b/2)}^{2}\\y - 27&= & (x - 5)^{2} - 25 & \text{Wrote the first three terms as the square of a binomial}\\y& = & \mathbf{(x - 5)^{2} + 2} & \text{Added 27 to each side}\\\end{array}\\\text{The vertex form of the parabola is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{y = (x - 5)^{2} + 2 }}$}The figure below shows that your parabola has its vertex at (5,2).

Which letter represents the y-intercept in the slope-intercept equation of a line: y = mx + b?
sergey [27]
The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b

m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

b=y-intercept (the value of y when x=zero)
