y² - 4y - 2x - 4 = 0
<u> +2x +4 </u> <u>+2x + 4 </u>
y² - 4y = 2x + 4
<u> +4 </u> <u> +4 </u>
(y - 2)² = 2x + 8
<u> -8 </u> <u> -8 </u>
(y - 2)² - 8 = 2x

(y - 2)² - 4 = x
x =
(y - 2)² - 4
<em>Note: this is a parabola whose axis of symmetry is y = 2 and vertex is (-4, 2)</em>
To get the equivalent fractions, you simply have to multiply
the fraction with another fraction that would equal to 1.
2/8 x 2/2 (this is equal to 1) = 4/16; 1/4
3/8 x 2/2 = 6/16; 9/24
4/8 x 2/2 = 8/16; 1/2
Answer:
b= -8
Step-by-step explanation:
b-6=-14
add 6 to -14 but its a negative so, you subtract -14 to 6.
----------
b= -8
