4(5x-20)= -20
20x-80= -20
+80 +80
____________
20x=60
_______
20
x=3
Answer:
the slope equals 2. otherwise known as the coefficient of x.
We know that
the equation of the vertical parabola in the vertex form is
<span>y=a(x-h)²+k
</span>where
(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola
if a> 0 then
the parabola opens upwards
if a< 0
then the parabola open downwards
in this problem we have
f(x)=−5(x+7)²<span>+6
</span>a=-5
so
a< 0 -------> the parabola open downwards
the vertex is the point (-7,6) is a maximum
the answer is the option<span>
a = -5, opens down</span>
