Answer:

m = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are collinear then the slope between points are equal.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 1)

m = \frac{-1-1}{1-5} = \frac{-2}{-4} = \frac{1}{2}

Repeat with

(x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (m, 4)

m = \frac{4+1}{m-1} = \frac{5}{m-1} = \frac{1}{2}

Cross- multiply

m - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )

m = 11

Which of the following is the graph of the quadratic function y - x? +10x+16 ?
Assoli18 [71]

Find the vertex:

\textrm{Use the formula } \frac{-b}{2a} \textrm{ to find the vertex}\\ \\ \frac{-10}{2} = -5\\ \\ \textrm{In order to find the y value plug in -5 back into the function}\\ \\ y=(-5)^2+10(-5)+16\\ y=-9\\\\ \textrm{The vertex of the function is} (-5,-9)

Determine if the parabola will open up or down:

a > 0 \\ \\ 1>0

Since the value of a is positive, the parabola will open upwards

Find the x and y intercepts:

Factor y = x^2+10x + 16 to find the x intercepts

(x+8)(x+2)

x + 8 = 0

x = -8

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

x intercepts:

x = -2

x = -8

Find the y intercept

y = 0^2+10(0) + 16\\\\ y=16

Hence, C. Graph A best represents the quadratic function y = x^2+10x + 16

Help with this algebra problem? 12y+6=6y+12?
Anika [276]
First, combine like terms.
12y+6=6y+12 turns into
12y-6y=12-6, which is
6y=6. Now divide both sides by 6.
y=1

now do a quick check (cause that's always a good idea).
12(1)+6=6(1)+12
12+6=6+12
