This is how you do it.
y = a(x - 3)(x - 8)
<span>-2 = a(-1 - 3)(-1 - 8) </span>
<span>-2 = 36a </span>
<span>- 1 / 18 = a </span>
<span>y = ( - 1 / 18)(x^2 - 11x + 24) </span>
<span>y = (- 1 / 18)x^2 + (11 / 18)x - (3 / 2)
</span>

Answer:
4400 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation: You move the decimal point to the right 3 spaces. If it was 10^-3 you would move the decimal point to the left 3 spaces.
We'll use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We know the slope, -1/5. Now the equation looks like y = (-1/5)m + b
To find the y-intercept, plug in the ordered pair that the question gave us into our equation and solve for b.
7 = (-1/5)(-3) + b
7 = 0.6 + b
6.4 = b
b = 6 2/5
So, the y-intercept will be at 6 2/5.
