Plane A has just 1 ton of fuel left and has requested plane B to refuel it. Plane B has 21 tons of fuel. Fuel transfer happens a
t the rate of 1 ton per minute. Use this information as you work through the activity and find how long it will take to refuel plane A until both planes have the same amount of fuel. Let x be the time in minutes and y be the amount of fuel in tons. The equation y=x+1 represents the quality of fuel with respect to time in plane A, and y=-x+21 represents the quality of fuel with respect to time in plane B. For each equation, find two points that satisfy the equation.

Answer:
a. Vertex = (2.5,-12.25)
b. y-intercept = (0,-6)
c. x-intercept = (6,0) ; (-1,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
Your equation is written as:
The easiest way to find the vertex is writing the equation this way:
Being the vertex (h,k)
So first complete the square
Vertex : (2.5,-12.25)
b.
To find the y-intercept you need to replace the equation when x = 0 and get y
c.
To find the x-intercept you need to replace the equation when y = 0 and get x
