Answer:

a = 2, b = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = ax² + bx

\frac{dy}{dx} is the measure of the slope at x = a

Differentiate each term with respect to x using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx}(ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1}

\frac{dy}{dx} = 2ax + b, hence

2ax + b = 3 at (2, - 2)

Substitute x = 2 into \frac{dy}{dx}

4a + b = 3 → (1) and substitute x = 2 into y

4a + 2b = - 2 → (2)

Subtract ( 1) from (2)

b = - 2 - 3 = - 5

Substitute b = - 5 into (1)

4a - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

4a = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 2

In the equation y = kx, the slope of the line is represented by the constant
vovangra [49]
K is the constant of proportionality also the same as slope.
You can see the commonality in the equations
y = kx
y = mx + b
The difference is that is a direct proportion the line will always go through the origin so the b will be zero.
The answer is B.

Graph y = 3x - 3 and label the x- and y-intercepts. My answer: (0,3)
Lesechka [4]
The slope-intercept form of the linear function is y = m x + b , where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.
Here we have: y = 3 x - 3
a ) When y = 0
0 = 3 x - 3
- 3 x  = - 3
x = ( - 3 ) : ( - 3 ) 
x = 1
When x = 0
y = 3 * 0 - 3 
y = - 3
So x - intercept is ( 1, 0 ) and y-intercept is ( 0, - 3 ).
b ) The slope:
m = ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1 ) = 
= ( - 3 - 3 ) / ( 5- 7 ) = ( - 6 ) /( - 2 ) = 6 / 2 = 3
Answer: The slope m = 3 .
