Answer:

* The x-intercepts are -7 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first lets revise the standard and general forms of the

 quadratic function which represented graphically by the parabola

- f(x) = a(x - h)² + k ⇒ standard form

- Where point (h , k) is the vertex of the parabola

- f(x) = ax² + bx + c ⇒ general form

- Where a, b, c are constant

- c is the y-intercept ⇒ means x = 0

- h = -b/2a

- k = f(h)

* Lets solve the problem

- We will find the equation of the parabola

∵ The vertex is (-1 , -108)

∴ h = -1 and k = -108

∵ y-intercept = -105

- Equate the two forms

∵ ax² + bx + c = a(x - h)² + k ⇒ solve the (   )²

∴ ax² + bx + c = a(x² - 2hx + h²) + k ⇒ open the bracket

∴ ax² + bx + c = ax² - 2ahx + ah² + k ⇒ by comparing the two sides

∴ c = ah² + k

- Substitute the value of c , h , k in it

∴ -105 = a(-1)² + -108

∴ -105 = a - 108 ⇒ add 108 to the both sides

∴ 3 = a

- Lets write the equation in the standard form

∴ y = 3(x - -1)² + -108

∴ y = 3(x + 1)² - 108

* To find the x-intercepts means the parabola intersects the x-axis,

  then put y = 0

∴ 3(x + 1)² - 108 = 0 ⇒ Add 108 to the both sides

∴ 3(x + 1)² = 108 ⇒ divide the both sides by 3

∴ (x + 1)² = 36 ⇒ take square root for both sides

∴ (x + 1) = ± 6

# x + 1 = 6  OR x + 1 = -6

∵ x + 1 = 6 ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ x = 5

∵ x + 1 = -6 ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ x = -7

* The x-intercepts are -7 and 5

∴

Five pairs of points (X,Y) that satisfy the equation Y=-2X+5 may be the following:

For X=0: Y=-2*0+5=5 (0,5)

For X=1: Y=-2*1+5=3 (1,3)

For X=2: Y=-2*2+5=1 (2,1)

For X=3: Y=-2*3+5=-1 (3,-1)

For X=4: Y=-2*4+5=-3 (4,-3)

The slope of the function is m=-2. Correct answer: C
