Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the two points of (5, 11) and (-5, -1).
Use the slope formula.

The correct option should be Option D.
Hope this helps you.
A graph of the equation shows the appropriate choice to be
C. 2_____
If you would rather, you can look at the value of the discriminant. For the equation y = ax²+bx+c, the discriminant (d) is
d = b²-4ac
For your equation, this evaluates to
d = (-8)²-4(2)(5) = 64 -40 =
24When the discriminant is
positive, the function has
two real roots (2 x-intercepts). When it is zero, there is only one x-intercept, and when it is negative, there are none (the roots are complex).
The anwser to your question is d
The function in vertex form is

(refer to your other post I solved it there).
The general form of quadratic equations in vertex form is

, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Here, a = 1, h = -6 and k = -54
Therefore, the vertex is (-6, -54) and it is a maximum because a = 1 is postive.
