Standard quadratic equation .. y = a x^2 + b x + c
<span>parabola 'a' not equal to zero </span>
<span>a<0 parabola opens downward </span>
<span>a>0 parabola opens upward </span>
<span>when |a| >>0 the parabola is narrower </span>
<span>when |a| is close to zero , the parabola is flatter </span>
<span>when the constant is varied it only effects the vertical position of the parabola , the shape remains the same</span>
When x = 1, y = (5 - 3) / -2 = -1 , let x1 = 1 and y1 = -1
2y = 3x - 5
so slope = 3/2
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y -(-1) = (3/2)(x - 1)
y + 1 = 3/2 ( x - 1) <----- answer
Check the picture below.
make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
X = 45.
Since opposite exterior angles are congruent, you can set the 2 values equal to each other. When you solve for x, you should get 45.
