Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 2y = 8

5x + 2y = -4

+ x. -2y. -8

6x = -12

÷6. ÷6

x = -2

5(-2) + 2y = -4

-10 + 2y = -4

+10. +10

2y = 6

÷2. ÷2

y = 3

Answer:

<h3>The slope is -1.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of the line that passes through the points, you have to use the slope formula.

Slope:

$\Rightarrow \sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} }$

y2=3

y1=(-2)

x2=(-1)

x1=4

Solve.

3--2/-1-4=5/-5=-1

The slope is -1.

F(t)=t^2+19t+60<br> What are the zeros of the function and what is the vertex of the parabola?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: $-4,-15;\ \left(-\dfrac{19}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Function is $F(t)=t^2+19+60$

Zeroes of the function are

$t^2+19t+60=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm\sqrt{19^2-4\times 1\times 60}}{2\times 1}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm \sqrt{121}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm 11}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=-4,-15$

Using completing the square method

$y=t^2+2\times \dfrac{19}{2}t+\dfrac{19^2}{2^2}-\dfrac{19^2}{2^2}+60\\\\y=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2+60-\dfrac{361}{4}\\\\y=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{121}{4}\\\\y+\dfrac{121}{4}=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2\\\\\left(y-(-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)=\left(t-(-\dfrac{19}{2})\right)^2\\\\\text{The vertex is }\left(-\dfrac{19}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)$
