Answer: Yes they could.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two pairs of sides given are proportional: 3/7 : 9/21
The two triangles have the side:side ratio, meaning they are similar
Because they are similar, their hypotenuses <em>could</em> lie along the same line, not guaranteed, but possible.
Quadratic f(x) = (x -h)² +k has vertex (h, k) and axis of symmetry x=h. When k is negative, the number of real solutions is 2, because both branches of the function cross the x-axis.
In your equation, h = -3 and k = -8.
Axis of symmetry: x = -3
Vertex: (-3, -8)
Number of real solutions: 2
