In order to find the distance between -61.5 and -23.4 on the number line, you just have to subtract either the greater value to lesser value or lesser value to the greater value.  It doesn't matter when you get a negative difference because the distance should be the absolute value of the difference of two points on a number line.
Here's how you should do it.
   (-61.5) - (-23.4) = -61.5 + 23.4 =  l-38.1l = 38.1
or
   (-23.4) - (-61.5) = -23.4 + 61.5 = l38.1l = 38.1

As you can see above, I tried to subtract the two numbers in different order, and the result is still the same. Just make sure to get the absolute value of the answer because the distance should always be in positive form.

Therefore, the distance between -61.5 and -23.4 is 38.1

First, we get ax^2+bx+c. Next, we know that the line of symmetry is -b/2a. Since we know that there is a maximum value, the parabola is facing downwards, so a is negative. For random numbers, we can say that a = -0.5 and b=-10 (b needs to be negative for -b/2a to equal -10), getting -0.5x^2-10x+c. Plugging -10 in for x (since -10 is the middle it is the max), we get -50+100=50. Since the maximum needs to be 5, not 50, we subtract 45 from the answer to get it and therefore make c = -45, getting -0.5x^2-10x-45

Why does the equation y = 3x + 5 NOT represent a proportional relationship?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form  or  

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem we have

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

The given equation not represent a proportional relationship, because the line not pass through the origin

In a proportional relationship the value of b (y-intercept) is equal to zero
