Answer (this one's written in slope-intercept form):

y= \frac{3}{5}x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Lines that are parallel to each other have the same slope. The line y=\frac{3}{5} x-8 is in slope intercept form, or y = mx + b form, and the number in place of m represents the slope. Knowing this, it looks like \frac{3}{5} is in the place of the m in that equation, so  \frac{3}{5} is the slope - and the slope we need to use for the answer, too.

2) Once you know a point that the line must pass through and a slope, you can write an equation with point-slope form, or y-y_1 = m (x - x_1). m is the slope and x_1 and y_1 are the x and y values of the point it must pass through. So, substitute \frac{3}{5} for m, 0 for x_1, and -3 for y_1. Simplify and isolate y to put it in slope-intercept form:

y-(-3) = \frac{3}{5} (x - 0) \\y + 3 = \frac{3}{5} x - 0 \\y = \frac{3}{5} x - 3

3) Thus, y = \frac{3}{5} x - 3\\ is the answer. It's written in slope-intercept form.

mylen [45]

Answer:

x= - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

note : the equation of the axis symmetry  for the parabola : y =ax²+bx+c

when :  a≠ 0 is : x=- b/2a

in this exercice : a=1  and b=10

so : x= -10/2 = -5
