Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form of a quadratic equation;

Vertex of the parabolas (h, k)
The vertex of the parabola is either the minimum or maximum of the parabola. The axis of symmetry goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex, hence h = -3. The minimum of the parabola is the y-coordinate of the vertex, so k= 7. Now substitute it into the formula;

Now substitute in the given point; ( -1, 9) and solve for a;

Hence the equation in vertex form is;

In standard form it is;

Ypu would subtract Y from the other points Y

Then you would subtract X from the ither points X.

Then you would put the Y value over the X

Then simiplify
Set up the equation ... 60 + 40X = total charges... where X is the number of hours (8.5)
60 + 40(8.5) = ?
60 + 340 = ?
400 = total charges
This means 900÷1000 because 10 to the power of 3 is 1 and 3 zero which is 1,000. The answer will be 0.9
