Parabola passes through the points (0,5), (1,4), and (2,5). What function does the graph represent?

Answer:

x^2 - 2x + 5 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (0, 5) is the point where the parabola passes through the y axis (where x = 0), so we can write the equation as

y = ax^2 + bx + 5   where a and b are constants to be found.

Also, since (1, 4) and (2, 5) are points on the curve, substituting, we have the system:

a(1)^2 + 1b + 5 = 4

a(2)^2 + 2b + 5 = 5

Simplify these 2 equations:

a  + b  =  -1  .................(1)

4a + 2b = 0..................(2)

Multiply the first equation by -2:

-2a - 2b = 2 .................(3)

Add (2) + (3):

2a = 2

a = 1.

Substitute a = 1 into (2):-

4*1 + 2b = 0

2b = -4

b = -2.

Answer:

Line s and Line t are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we know that angles 1 and 2 are congruent, because they have the same angle measures. Now, looking at their positions, we can see that they are alternate exterior angles.

By the converse of the Alternate Exterior Angle, (I do not remember exactly how the theorem went) if two lines are cut by a transversal and have congruent alternate exterior angles, then the lines are parallel. Using this theorem, we can find that lines s and t are parallel, because they are cut by a transversal and their alternate exterior angles are congruent.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Which of the following statements best describes the location of −(−5) on a number line?
Korolek [52]
Hello,

-(-5) is also known as just a plain positive 5. When two negatives are multiplied together, they make the number positive. So, the location of -(-5) on a number line would be on the number 5. I hope this helps!

Graph: y = 3x - 5<br> Plz help
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The equation, y=3x-5 is in y=mx+b format. The b, or -5 in this case, tells you what the y intercept is, or in this case, your starting point. This means your first point will be at (0,-5). The mx, or 3x in this case, tell us how much to move     up and how much to move sideways. 3x is equal to 3/1x and the 3/1 tells us the rise/run. Rise being how much to go up or down and run being how much to go to the left or right. So in 3x, the rise is 3 and the run is 1. So you will go 3 up on the y axis and 1 to the right on the x-axis. So your next point will be (1, -2) and the point after that will be (2, 1) and so on!

hope this helped!
