You first have to turn 2x + 4y = -8 into y = mx + b before graphing. To do this, you subtract 2x from the left side of the equation because inverse operations. This will bring 2x to the right side. Now, you will have 4 = -2x + 8. However, you cannot have a number with y. Therefore, you must divide -8 and 2 by 4. You will get y = -1/2 x + 2 as your equation.
To graph -1/2x + 2, you must remember rise/run. Since it is NEGATIVE -1/2, your slope will go downwards (1 down, 2 across) starting from y = 2.
Answer:

or

Step-by-step explanation:
we have

This is a vertical parabola open upward (because the leading coefficient is positive)
The vertex is a minimum
Convert to vertex form
Factor the leading coefficient

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.


Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point (0.25,10.5)
Answer:
x = 4.3
Step-by-step explanation:

x= 4.3
Answer:
56.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
it has one solution because the slopes of the two equations(1x & 2x) are different, which means the lines of the two equations are not parallel, they have an intersection point(also means one solution).
