Horizontal means zero slope, or a zero coefficient on x.

Answer: y = b

Remark

The line is horizontal. That means that the equation is y = something. There is no x value for this. If it goes through M(a,b) then what you are concerned about is b

y = b is the equation of the line you seek.

Can somebody help me with my geometry?
ahrayia [7]
The slope of AC is -0.4

Proof:
In triangles ABC and DBE,
∠DBE is common to both triangles.
AB = 2DB (D is the midpoint of the interval AB)
Also, BC = 2BE (E is the midpoint of the interval BC)

Thus triangles ABC and DBE are similar in the ratio 2:1

Since, they are similar, ∠BDE must equal ∠BAC (corresponding angles in similar triangles)

If ∠BDE = ∠BAC, DE must be parallel to AC (corresponding angles are equal along parallel lines)
Thus, the slope of AC = the slope of DE
Thus, the slope of AC is -0.4

Find the vertex of this parabola: y=-4x^2+8x-12
tatiyna
<span>The vertex of the parabola is the highest or lowest point of the graph. 

</span><span>y=-4x^2+8x-12 = -4 (x^2 -2x +3) 

Lets work with this now: </span>x^2 -2x +3

x^2 -2x +3 -> what is the closeset perfect square? 
x^2 -2x +1 = (x-1)^2
So
x^2 -2x +3 = (x-1)^2 +2

Replacing to original 
y=-4x^2+8x-12 = -4 (x^2 -2x +3) = -4 ((x-1)^2 +2) = -4 (x-1)^2 - 8

The min or max point is where the squared part = 0
So when x=1 , y= -4*0-8=-8

This will be the max of the parabola as there is - for the highest factor (-4x^2)

The max: x=1, y= -8
