</u>

2) <u>Find the opposite</u>

Step 2
<u>Jason's method</u>
1) <u>Find the opposite of
</u>

2) <u>Find the absolute value </u>

Step 3

therefore
<u>The answer is</u>
The greater value is obtained with the method of Jason
h=20w
in one week hector works 20 hours
in two hector works 40 etc
h = hours and w = weeks. the money is just extra information.
h=20w works because if it has been two weeks we substitute the w with the number 2 and can solve
h=20(2)
h=20x2
h=40
This proves that the equation is true
Answer:
- vertex (3, -1)
- y-intercept: (0, 8)
- x-intercepts: (2, 0), (4, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
You are being asked to read the coordinates of several points from the graph. Each set of coordinates is an (x, y) pair, where the first coordinate is the horizontal distance to the right of the y-axis, and the second coordinate is the vertical distance above the x-axis. The distances are measured according to the scales marked on the x- and y-axes.

<h3>Vertex</h3>
The vertex is the low point of the graph. The graph is horizontally symmetrical about this point. On this graph, the vertex is (3, -1).
<h3>Y-intercept</h3>
The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. On this graph, the y-intercept is (0, 8).
<h3>X-intercepts</h3>
The x-intercepts are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis. You will notice they are symmetrically located about the vertex. On this graph, the x-intercepts are (2, 0) and (4, 0).

<em>Additional comment</em>
The reminder that these are "points" is to ensure that you write both coordinates as an ordered pair. We know the x-intercepts have a y-value of zero, for example, so there is a tendency to identify them simply as x=2 and x=4. This problem statement is telling you to write them as ordered pairs.
