Commenter jdoe said it right: solve for y and leave the rest on the other side.
-x + 3y = 6
3y = 6 + x add x on both sides
3y = x + 6 rearrange to get the x first
y = (x + 6) /3 divide both sides by 3
y = x/3 + 6/3 split the numerator (caution - never split denominators)
y = x/3 + 2 simplify 6/3
Thus the line in slope intercept form of y = mx + b is y =
Answer:
The equation of the parabola is , whose real vertex is
, not
.
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola is a second order polynomial. By Fundamental Theorem of Algebra we know that a second order polynomial can be formed when three distinct points are known. From statement we have the following information:
,
,
From definition of second order polynomial and the three points described above, we have the following system of linear equations:
(1)
(2)
(3)
The solution of this system is: ,
,
. Hence, the equation of the parabola is
. Lastly, we must check if
belongs to the function. If we know that
, then the value of
is:
