Answer:
-0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The 'a' value can be found by looking at the difference between the y-value of a point 1 unit from the vertex, and the y-value of the vertex.
Here, that is a negative fraction of a unit. If we assume the value is a rational number that can be accurately determined from this graph, then we can find it by looking for a point where the graph crosses a grid intersection. It looks like such grid points are (-7, 0) and (3, 0). The vertex is apparently (-2, 4), so the vertex form of the equation is ...
y = a(x +2)^2 +4
Using the point (3, 0), we have ...
0 = a(3 +2)^2 +4 . . . . . fill in the values of x and y
-4 = 25a . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4; next, divide by 25
a = -4/25 = -0.16
Answer:
y = 3 + 0.40x
Step-by-step explanation:
Fixed cost of taxi fare = $3
Additional cost = $0.40
Let
y = Total cost
x = number of kilometers
The equation:
Total cost = Fixed cost of taxi fare + (Additional cost * number of kilometers)
y = 3 + 0.40x
Well according to the slope intercept equation.
Y = mx +/- b
The slope is the value m
The y intercept is b
To graph the function, one sure way to do it is simply make a table of values picking any x values that fall within the graph space, and finding out the resulting y values and using the points to graph.
For instance for the first graph, if x = 0, y = 5, that is one possible point. Keep on choosing x values to graph.
