ANSWER
(-1,2)
EXPLANATION
The given quadratic expression is:

The coefficient of the quadratic term is already 1.
So we add and subtract the square of half the coefficient of x.

We factor the first three terms to obtain

This is now in the form:

where (h,k) which is equal to (-1,2) is the vertex.
Answer:
It is a linear function.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows a straight line. Therefore the function must be linear. Unless you were asking about the equation of the line? Let me know.
To find the equation of this line, you would take the two points it passes through, (-3, 0) and (0, -2), and plug it into the slope formula, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
This would get you (-2 - 0)/ (0 - (-3)), which is -2/3.
Then, you can use slope intercept form to write the equation, since you have the y intercept already, (0, -2). Slope intercept is y=mx+b.
The line of the equation would then be y = -2/3x -2
8 = 4 + 2c
move 4 to the other side
the sign always changes when moving to the other side
8-4= 4-4+2c
8-4= 2c
4= 2c
divide both sides by 2 to get c by itself
4/2= 2c/2
Cross out 2 and 2 divide by 2 and then becomes 1*1*c= c
c= 4/2
Answer: c= 2
