Answer:

k = -1/2

y= -1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx

We know y = -4 and x=8

-4 = k*8

Divide each side by 9

-4/8 = 8k/8

-1/2 =k

y= -1/2x

Answer:

Part 1) "a" value is 2

Part 2) The vertex is the point (1,8)

Part 3) The equation of the axis of symmetry is x=1

Part 4) The vertex is a minimum

Part 5) The quadratic equation in standard form is y=2x^{2}-4x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2}+k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

if a > 0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if a < 0 then the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximum)

The equation of the axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

x=h

In this problem we have

y=2(x-1)^{2}+8 -----> this is the equation in vertex form of a vertical parabola

The value of a=2

so

a>0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

The vertex is the point (1,8)

so

(h,k)=(1,8)

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x=1

The equation of a vertical parabola in standard form is equal to

y=ax^{2}+bx+c

Convert vertex form in standard form

y=2(x-1)^{2}+8

y=2(x^{2}-2x+1)+8

y=2x^{2}-4x+2+8

y=2x^{2}-4x+10

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

200z + 50 = 8000 solve this problem
kramer

Answer:

39.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 50 from both sides

200z + 50 - 50 = 8000 - 50

200z = 7950

Then isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 200

200z/200 = 7950/200

z=39.75
