Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
If <span>y = –4x – 7, the x-intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for x:
</span><span>0 = –4x – 7 => 4x = -7, or x = -7/4 The x-intercept is (-7/4, 0).
</span><span>The y-intercept is found by setting x = 0 and reading off the value of y:
y = –4x – 7 => y = 0 - 7, or y = -7. The y-intercept is (0, -7).</span>
This gives you three simultaneous equations:
6 = a + c
7 = 4a + c
1 = c
<u>c = 1
</u><u /><u />
If c =1,
6 = a + 1
<u>a = 5
</u><u /><u />
This doesn't work in the second equation, so the quadratic that goes through these points is not in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c
Was there supposed to be a b in the equation?
