Answer:

A. y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

What we do to one side of the equation we have to do to the other.

y + 7 = -9

We have to get y by itself so we have to get rid of the seven by doing the opposite of what it says

The opposite of addition is subtraction so we subtract 7 from both sides

y + 7 - 7 = -9 - 7

Solve

y + 0 = -16

Simplify

y = -16

The answer is A. y = -16

Hope this helps!

La ecuación de la recta que pasa por los puntos (2,-1) y (1,-5) es:

77julia77 [94]

Given:

A line passes through the points (2,-1) and (1,-5).

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

If a line passes through the two points, then the equation of the line is

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The line passes through the points (2,-1) and (1,-5). So, the equation of the line is

$y-(-1)=\dfrac{-5-(-1)}{1-2}(x-2)$

$y+1=\dfrac{-5+1}{-1}(x-2)$

$y+1=\dfrac{-4}{-1}(x-2)$

$y+1=4(x-2)$

Using distributive property, we get

$y+1=4(x)+4(-2)$

$y+1=4x-8$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$y+1-1=4x-8-1$

$y=4x-9$

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Re-write the quadratic function below in Standard Form y = -(x – 3)2 +8

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

y = -x² + 6x - 1

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Expanding by FOIL (First Inside Outside Last)
Combining like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

y = -(x - 3)² + 8

Step 2: Rewrite

Expand [FOIL]: y = -(x² - 6x + 9) + 8
Distribute -1: y = -x² + 6x - 9 + 8
Combine like terms: y = -x² + 6x - 1
