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>
If this doesn't explain it enough, please, ask questions.
How do you evaluate: To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. If we know the value of our variables, we can replace the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression.
Answer:
SAS
Step-by-step explanation:
We can automatically eliminate the HL answer choice, since the given triangles aren't right triangles. The only answer choices that could make sense would be ASA or SAS, but there is no ASA choice, so the answer would be SAS.
