Answer:

Parabolas are frequently used in physics and engineering for things such as the design of automobile headlight reflectors and the paths of ballistic missiles. Parabolas are frequently encountered as graphs of quadratic functions.

The same effects occur with sound and other forms of energy. This reflective property is the basis of many practical uses of parabolas. The parabola has many important applications, from a parabolic antenna or parabolic microphone to automobile headlight reflectors to the design of ballistic missiles.

Question Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (6, −1) and (3, −7). Please help
Solnce55 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

(x1,y1) = (6,-1)

(x2,y2) = (3,-7)

(y - y1)/(y2 - y1) = (x - x1)/(x2 - x1)

(y + 1)/(-7 + 1) = (x - 6)/(3 - 6)

(y + 1)/-6 = (x - 6)/-3

(y + 1)/2 = (x - 6)/1

y + 1 = 2(x - 6)

y = 2x - 12 - 1

y = 2x - 13

Which verbal description does not match the function f(x)=-1/3x-5?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) = -1/3x - 5 will be verbally described using the words for the operations of multiplication and subtraction. These words would include difference, product, decrease, subtracted, less than and times. The options include:

A. The function value is the difference between x times -1/3 and 5.

This is the equation since it separates the -1/3x and 5 terms using the word and.

B. The function value is 5 less than the product of x and 1/3.

This is the equation since it separates the -1/3x and 5 terms using the word and.

C. The function value is -1/3 of x subtracted from 5.

This is NOT the equation since it DOES NOT separate the -1/3x and 5 terms using the word and. It also suggests 5 - 1/3x by subtracting from 5.

D. The function value is -1/3 of x decreased by 5.

Though this doesn't use the word and, it separates the -1/3 and 5 terms by the order and still subtracts 5.
