The answer is 12. I got it by dividing 2/3 into 8. I used keep change flip. First I made 8 a fraction by putting one as it's denominator. Then I changed division to multiplication. After that, I flipped the fraction from 2/3 to 3/2. Then I multiplied across. My answer was 24/2. I simplified and got my final answer of 12.
<h3>Answer: Choice B. y = (x+3)^2 - 1</h3>
============================================
How I got that answer:
The vertex is the lowest point of parabolas that open upward.
(h,k) = vertex
(h,k) = (-3,-1)
h = -3
k = -1
For each of the answer choices, a = 1.
The general template of a quadratic in vertex form is
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
Plug a = 1, h = -3, k = -1 into that equation. Simplify.
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 1(x-(-3))^2 + (-1)
y = (x+3)^2 - 1
Perpendicular. Only because its 2 lines that intersect one another.
