The rule for secants tells you
  EC·ED = EB·EA
  (x+4)(x+5) = (x+1)(x+12)
  9x+20 = 13x+12 . . . . . . simplify, subtract x²
  8 = 4x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -12-9x
  2 = x

The value of x is 2.

Convert y =(x+1)(x-9) to vertex form
IgorC [24]

Answer:

y = (x - 4)² - 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.

Given

y = (x + 1)(x - 9) ← expand factors using FOIL, thus

y = x² - 8x - 9

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 8x

y = x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16 - 9

  = (x - 4)² - 25 ← in vertex form

(3,-2);slope 1/3 what is the answer?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = \frac{1}{3} , then

y = \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 1 = - 3

y = \frac{1}{3} x - 3 ← equation of line
