Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is f(x)=-(x+9)(x-21)

We write the equation in standard form of parabola f(x)=ax^2+bx+c using FOIL

f(x)=-(x+9)(x-21)\\\\f(x)=-(x^2-21x+9x-189)\\\\f(x)=-x^2+12x+189

Now, we know that the axis of symmetry passes through the vertex. Hence, in order to find the vertex of the parabola, we find the x coordinate of the vertex.

x coordinate of the vertex is -\frac{b}{2a}

Here, a = -1 b = 12

-\frac{b}{2a}\\\\=-\frac{12}{2\cdot(-1)}\\\\=-(-6)\\\\=6

Therefore, the axis of symmetry is x = 6

<span>f(x) =-(x+9)(x-21)

Manipulating algebrically,
We get,
</span>f(x) =-(x+9)(x-21)
      = -(x^2 -21x + 9x - 189)
      = -(x^2 -12x - 189)
      = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Axis of symmetry = -b/2a
plugging the values,
x = -12/-2
   = 6

Write each equation in slope-intercept form (3,4); and (-6,-2)
Alborosie

Answer:

y = 2/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Given 2 points you can find the slope using (y-y1)/(x-x1)

m = (-2-4)/(-6-3) = -6/-9 = 2/3

To find b use one of the points and m and plug into the slope intercept form and then solve for b.

y=mx+b

4=2/3(3) + b

4=2 + b

b=2

Now we can write the final equation as : (plug m and b back in)

y = 2/3x + 2
