Step-by-step explanation:
For every increase in the x-value by 1,
the y-value decreases by -2.
(From 3 to 1 and from 1 to -1)
Hence, slope of line k
= Rise/Run = (-2)/1 = -2. (A)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=4+20+4
=28
We know that
the equation of the vertical parabola in the vertex form is
<span>y=a(x-h)²+k
</span>where
(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola
if a> 0 then
the parabola opens upwards
if a< 0
then the parabola open downwards
in this problem we have
f(x)=−5(x+7)²<span>+6
</span>a=-5
so
a< 0 -------> the parabola open downwards
the vertex is the point (-7,6) is a maximum
the answer is the option<span>
a = -5, opens down</span>
see the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the left side:
5x - 20 = 3x + 4
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation:
2x - 20 = 4
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:
2x = 24
Divide each term by 2 and simplify:
x = 12
