Answer:

a = -4, b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

P(2) = 0

= 4a +2b = -10

P(4) = 6

= 16a + 4b = -52

16a + 4b = -52 - 8a + 4b = -20

= 8a = -32

a = -4

b = -3

ΔQTR and ΔSTP are similar triangles. The corresponding sides of similar triangles are the same length.
TR = PT
TS = QT

Input the algebraic expression to make an equation system
PT = TR
y = 2x - 1 <em>(first equation)</em>

TS = QT
6x + 13 = 5y
6x - 5y = -13  <span><em>(second equation)</em>

</span>Using subtitution method, subtitute y with 2x - 1 from first equation into the second equation, to find the value of x
6x - 5y = -13
6x - 5(2x - 1) = 13
6x - 10x + 5 = 13
-4x + 5 = 13
-4x = 13 - 5
-4x = 8
  x = 8/-4
  x = -2

Find y with subtituting x with -2 in the first equation
y = 2x - 1
y = 2(-2) - 1
y = -4 - 1
y = -5

Answer:
x = -2
y = -5

Which equation represents the graph?
klio [65]
The second option.

That is because
y -3 = - \frac{1}{2}(x + 1) \\ (y -3)+3 = (- \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{2}) + 3 \\ y = - \frac{1}{2}x + 2 \frac{1}{2}
