Abigail: x

Jake: 3/4x

---

Make their expressions add up to 140 in an equation.

(x) + (3/4x) = 140

Combine like terms.

1 3/4x = 140

Divide both sides by 1 3/4.

x = 80

Plug 80 for x into Jake and Abigail's expressions.

Jake: 3/4(80) = 60

Abigail: (80) = 80

---

Jake earned $60 and Abigail earned $80.

Let's represent Jake with the variable 'j' and Abigail with the variable 'a':

j = 3a/4

j + a = 140

j = -a + 140

3a/4 = -a + 140

3a = -4a + 560

7a = 560

a = 80

Abigail earned $80 and Jake earned $60

The vertex of this parabola is at (2,-1) when the y value is 0 and then x value is 5 what is the coefficient of the squared term
Darina [25.2K]

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{y=a(x- h)^2+ k}\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{2}{ h},\stackrel{-1}{ k}) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} h=2\\ k=-1 \end{cases}\implies y=a(x-2)^2-1 \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} y=0\\ x=5 \end{cases}\implies 0=a(5-2)^2-1\implies 1=9a \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{9}=a\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{9}(x-2)^2-1}


now, let's expand the squared term to get the standard form of the quadratic.


\bf y=\cfrac{1}{9}(x-2)^2-1\implies y=\cfrac{1}{9}(x^2-4x+4)-1 \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{1}{9}x^2-\cfrac{4}{9}x+\cfrac{4}{9}-1\implies \stackrel{its~coefficient}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{\cfrac{1}{9}}x^2-\cfrac{4}{9}x-\cfrac{5}{9}}

Find a​ point-slope form for the line with slope 1 over 5 and passing through the point ​-8, -7
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

(1/5)x-5.4=y

Step-by-step explanation:

mx+b=y

m=(1/5)

(-8,-7)=(x,y)

(1/5)(-8)+b=(-7)

-1.6+b=-7

b=-5.4

(1/5)x-5.4=y
