Okay first set up the equation
x
--- -2 = 5.5
-3
add over the 2
x
--- = 7.5
-3
now you need to multiply the denominator by the answer
(-3)(7.5) = x
-22.5 = x
Answer:
The maximum is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola that opens down (- in front), the vertex represents the highest point on the graph, or the maximum value.
The vertex of the equation is (-7,-3)
So, the maximum y value is -3
