Answer: a = 4
Step-by-step explanation: Area of a triangle is calculated as:
.
The triangle formed by the parabola has base (b) equal to the distance between the points where the graph touches x-axis and height (h) is the point where graph touches the y-axis.
The points on the x-axis are the roots of the quadratic equation:
a(x-3)(x+2)=0
(x-3)(x+2)=0
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
or
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
So, base is the distance between (-2,0) and (3,0).
Since they are in the same coordinate, distance will be:
b = 3 - (-2)
b = 5
Area of the triangle is 10. So constant a is

5a = 10.2
a = 4
The constant a of the function y = a(x-3)(x+2) is 4.
Answer:
(-1, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point B is 5 units below point A, and point E is 5 units above point D: AB = ED. This means that BC will be equal to EF. B and C are 7 units apart, so 7 units left from E is (-1, 4).
Hope this helps!
Perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal
so slope of new line = - 4
passes through (-2, -6) in point-slope form
y + 6 = -4(x + 2)
Answer is C. y + 6 = -4 (x + 2)
