Answer:

[see below]

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is a straight path of points that has no start and no end. The line has an arrow on each end.

A line segment is part of a line. They have a start and an end. The line segments have a point on each end. You can use a line segment to make polygons and make calculations about them.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

A line segment has two endpoints. It contains these endpoints and all the points of the line between them. You can measure the length of a segment, but not of a line. Line segments are only a line that goes from one point to another, and lines go on forever. However, a line segment is also part of a line.

Hope this helps!

What is the vertex form of Y = x2 - 6x + 6?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=(x-3)^2-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c:

y = a(x - h)² + k

(h, k) - coordinates of a vertex

We have the equation y = x² - 6x + 6.

Convert to the vertex form:

$y=x^2-2(x)(3)+6\\\\y=\underbrace{x^2-2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}-3^2+6\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\y=(x-3)^2-9+6\\\\y=(x-3)^2-3\to h=3,\ k=-3$
