For this case we have the following equation:
 f (x) = x ^ 2 + bx-49
 Deriving we have:
 f '(x) = 2x + b
 We match zero:
 0 = 2x + b
 We clear x:
 x = -b / 2
 The axis of symmetry is at x = 8, therefore:
 x = -b / 2 = 8
 Clearing b:
 b = -2 * (8)
 b = -16
 Answer:
 
the value of b is:
 
b = -16

Please answer these and find the slope intercept form for each one. <br> Best answer gets brainliest
vovikov84 [41]
You just look where the line crossed the y axis and that’s your y intercept and for the slope you look at where the line perfectly intersects the squares and then count rise to run to each dot
