The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4
double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.
Shawna got 16 items correct
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percentage of answers or part of total answers we multiply the fraction with the total number of items.

Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have a 4/ 6 chance
then you have a 2/6 chance if the number is an odd number then reducing you would get
1. 2/3
2. 1/3
Answer:
y = - 3x + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y =
x + 8 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= - 3, so
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line
To find c substitute (6, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 18 = 16
y = - 3x + 16 ← equation of perpendicular line
