The x intercepts of a parabola are (6,0) and (-2,0) determine the x coordinate of the vertex

1 answer:

4 0

This means that (x-6)(x+2) = f(x) is the equation for the parabola due to that if you plug these in, when x=6 and x=-2 then y=0. Expanding it, we get
x^2+2x-6x-12=x^2-4x-12. Since the x coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a, it's 4/2=2

Work out m and c for the line: 2x + 3y +1=0 m= c =

Sergio [31]

Answer:

m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ , c = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

2x + 3y + 1 = 0 ( subtract 2x + 1 from both sides )

3y = - 2x - 1 ( divide terms by 3 )

y = - $\frac{2}{3}$ x - $\frac{1}{3}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ and c = - $\frac{1}{3}$
