Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is given by the formula:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We need 2 points to find a line's slope.

  • The first point is (-3,-7) hence x_1 = -3 & y_1 = -7.
  • The second point is (9,1) hence x_2 = 9 & y_2 = 1.

Plugging these into the slope formula, we will get the slope:

\frac{1--7}{9--3}\\=\frac{1+7}{9+3}\\=\frac{8}{12}\\=\frac{2}{3}

correct answer is A

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the points (-3,-7) and (9,1).

The slope of the line can be calculted using formula

\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

Thus, the slope of the given line is

\dfrac{1-(-7)}{9-(-3)}=\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{2}{3}.

Over which interval is the graph of f(x) = one-halfx2 + 5x + 6 increasing?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x\in[-5,\ \infty)}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+5x+6\\\\\text{The coeficient of}\ x^2\ \text{is the positive number. Therefore the parabola is op}\text{en up}.\\\\\text{If a parabola op}\text{en up, then the graph increasing in interval}\ (h,\ \infty),\\\text{and decreasing in interval}\ (-\infty,\ h).\ \text{Where}\ h\ \text{is a first coordinate of a vertex.}\\\\\text{For}\ y=ax^2+bx+c,\ h=\dfrac{-b}{2a}.\\\\\text{We have}\ a=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{and}\ b=5.\ \text{Substitute:}\\\\h=\dfrac{-5}{2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}=-\cdot\dfrac{5}{1}=-5.

Can someone answer question 2a and b only please
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

2a)  -2

b) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h

2 a)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then

                 f(6) = 0

⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         16a - 6 = 0

⇒              16a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/16 = 3/8

So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒      3/8(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 16

⇒              x - 2 = ±4

⇒                   x = 6,  -2

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2

b)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then

                 f(-4) = 0

⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         36a - 6 = 0

⇒              36a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/36 = 1/6

So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒  1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒       1/6(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 36

⇒              x - 2 = ±6

⇒                   x = 8,  -4

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8
