Positive slope is my best guess for the informations givin
...6 and 10 are roots, so x – 6 and x – 10 are factors.
y = a(x – 6)(x – 10).....plug in the point (8, 2) and solve for a:
2 = a(8 – 6)(8 – 10)
2 = –4a
a = –1/2
...y = (–1/2)(x – 6)(x – 10)
...y = (–1/2)(x² – 16x + 60)
...y = (–x²/2) + 8x – 30 <<<------Answer, or:
...y = (–1/2)(x – 8)² + 2 <<<------Answer
You’re right, it’s just 100/25.
3y = -2x + 2
y = x + 4 (Substitute the y)
3(x + 4) = -2x + 2 (Distribute)
3x + 12 = -2x + 2 (Add 3 to both sides)
+3x +3x
------------------------------------------
12 = 1x + 2 (Subtract 2 from both sides)
-2 - 2
------------------------
10 = 1x (Divide by 1 on both sides)
10/1 = 1x/1
x = 10
This is your x-coordinate
