25 over 100 as a percent is 25% and 25 over 100 as a decimal is .25
You're given the slope of the line and a point thru which the line passes. So it makes sense to use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line: if the point is (a,b) and the slope is m, then
y-b=m(x-a). You'd then solve this for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form.
On the other hand, if you're asked to write the equation in slope-intercept form, starting with the general form of this equation may be faster: y=mx+b.
Substitute the given values for x and y (which are 25 and -9) and m (which is (2/5). Solve the resulting equation for b (the y-intercept).
Then write the finished equation: y=( ? )x + b, where b is the y-intercept you've just found.
With the information given, we deduce that the parabola is
Reflecting a function over the x axis means to change its sign. After the reflection, the parabola becomes
And to shift down a function, you subtract the shift from the equation: the equation becomes
Similarly, the other function is reflected over the x axis (sign change) and shifted up 3 (add 3 to the equation):
In order to compute the y intercept, we simply have to evaluate the functions at x=0: for the parabola we have
For the other function, we have
At= -5(1/2)
at= -2.5
v= u + at
v= 2 + (-2.5)
v= -0.5
