Y= ax² -4x +3

-b/2a is x - coordinate of the vertex,
line of symmetry x=-2, x=-2 is a coordinate of the vertex also, because the line symmetry has vertex.

x= -b/2a
x= -2, b= -4
-2=-(-4)/2a
-2=4/2a
-2=2/a
a=2/(-2)=-1
a= - 1

5<br> Find the slope of a line parallel to 2y - 6x+8.<br> -6
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Change the equation to the slope intercept form (y = mx + b)

2y = 6x + 8

Divide equation by 2

y = 3x + 4

Therefore

The line as a y intercept of 4

:

Parallel lines have the same slope;

Find the slope by putting in the equation in the point/intercept form

4x + 4y = 20

4y = -4x + 20

Divide equation by 4, results

y = -1x + 5

:

Now we know the slope (-1) and the y intercept (+4) if the line

y = -1x + 4

or just

y = -x + 4 is "the line"
