$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-2}{2} 

x=-1$ $5x - 6 = 3x -8

(5x - 3x) and (6+(-8))

2x = -2

Which one do i choose fam? I suck at geometry

Viefleur [7K]

The best choice would probably be the third option from the top. Since by using the distance formula you can solve for the length or distance of each of the sides of the triangle, and check to see if it is equal. As would be in an equilateral triangle.

Slope wouldn’t be best for the last leg or bottom leg as there is no change in y and x.

working together, melissa and jing can mow a lawn in 5 hours. It would take melissa 8 hours to do the job alone. What is the val

lubasha [3.4K]

Total Time = (M x K) / (M + K)
5 = (8 x K) / (8 + K)
40 + 5 K = 8K
40 = 3K
King can do the job in 13.33 Hours

King could mow (1 / 13.33) of the lawn in one hour.

Suppose a parabola has vertex (6,5) and also passes through the point (7,7). Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Choice B: $y = 2\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For a parabola with vertex $(h,\, k)$ , the vertex form equation of that parabola in would be:

$\text{$y = a\, (x - h)^{2} + k$ for some constant $a$}$ .

In this question, the vertex is $(6,\, 5)$ , such that $h = 6$ and $k = 5$ . There would exist a constant $a$ such that the equation of this parabola would be:

$y = a\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .

The next step is to find the value of the constant $a$ .

Given that this parabola includes the point $(7,\, 7)$ , $x = 7$ and $y = 7$ would need to satisfy the equation of this parabola, $y = a\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .
