Answer:

-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the distance from the first x coordinate to the second. This is done by doing -5 - -1 (aka -5 + 1), which equals -4. Then, you find the distance form the first y coordinate to the second. THis is done by doing 0 - -4 (aka 0 + 4), which equals 4. Then, you divide the distance of the y's over the distance of the x's, which gets you the slope, which is -1. Hope this helped!

Answer:

Opening: Opens upwards

Axis of Symmetry: -7/2

Vertex: (-7/2, -81/4)

X - intercepts: (1, 0) and (-8, 0)

Y - intercept: (0, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Opening: 'a' is greater than zero

Axis of Symmetry:

$\frac{-7}{2(1)} =\frac{-7}{2}$

Vertex:

$y= (\frac{-7}{2})^{2} +7(\frac{-7}{2}) -8\\y= (\frac{49}{4}) +(\frac{-49}{2}) -8\\y= \frac{49}{4} +\frac{-98}{4} -8\\y=\frac{-49}{4}-8\\y = \frac{-81}{4}$

X - intercepts:

(x-1)(x+8)

x = 1 and x = -8

Y - intercept: (0, -8)

$y= 0^{2} +7(0) -8\\\\y= -8\\$

Solve 8z + 12 = 5z − 21

Mekhanik [1.2K]

z = -11

Steps:
8z+12 = 5z-21
Subtract 12 from both sides
8z+12-12 = 5z-21-12
Simplify
8z = 5z-33
Subtract 5z from both sides
8z-5z = 5z-33-5z
Simplify
3z = -33
Divide both sides by 3
3z/3 = -33/3
Simplify
z = -11

Hope this helps you! (:
