The equations y=55x+50 and y=65x represents Rick's and Betty's trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Head start of Rick = 50 miles

Speed of Rick = 55 mph

Let,

x be the number of hours

y be the total miles

Distance covered by Rick in x hours = Speed * Time + Head start

y = 55x + 50

Speed of Betty = 65 mph

Total miles = Speed*Time

y=65x

The equations y=55x+50 and y=65x represents Rick's and Betty's trip.

Find allgebraiclly the equation of the axis of symmetry and the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation y=-x2-2x+1
Slav-nsk [51]
To find the vertex use -b/2a (for the x value which is also the axis of symmetry)
So 2/-2 = -1 Therefore the axis of symmetry is x=-1 Plug in for the y value:
y= -(-1)^2 -2(-1) + 1 y=-1 + 2 + 1 y=2 Vertex (-1,2)
