Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

y = ax + b is the equation in slope- intercept form

where a is the slope of the line and b is the y- intercept

To find a use the slope formula

a = (y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 2)

a = \frac{-2-1}{1+3} = - \frac{3}{4} = - 0.75, hence

y = - 0.75 + b

To find b substitute either of the 2 points into the equation

using (1, - 2), then

- 2 = - 0.75 + b ⇒ b = - 2 + 0.75 = - 1.25 = - 1 \frac{1}{4}

Rewrite the quadratic function in intercept or factored form<br> y=-40x+2x^2-2x
poizon [28]

Answer:

y = 2x(x - 21)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic function y = -40x + 2x^2 - 2x

This can be rearranged as

y = 2x^2 - 2x - 40x

Here the Greatest Common Factor is 2x, we can take it out and write the remaining term in parenthesis.

y = 2x(x - 1 -20)

y = 2x(x - 21)

That's the answer.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

What is 267.4 divided by 1/10 ?
kotegsom [21]
I’m personally not to good at adding fractions so I turned 1/10 into 0.1

Then I divided 268.4 by .1 and got 2,674.
