Answer:

Every parabola has a turning point called the axis of symmetry,so for this question you just have to find the turning points

x turning point= -b/2a,and the y turning point is gotten by replacing the value of x in the equation

y=(x+1)(x-4)

=x^2-3x-4

a is 1,b is -3 and c is -4

x= -(-3)/2(1)

=1.5

and y=x^2-3x-4

=1.5^2-3(1.5)-4

= -6.25

therefore the axis of symmetry is (1.5,-6.25)

I hope this helps

Find the equation of the line that passes through the two points (5,-3) and (-5,2). Write your answer in standard form. Help me

lidiya [134]

Answer:

x + 2y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we'll find the slope.

Slope = (2 - (-3)) / (-5 - 5) = 5 / -10 = -1/2

Since we know the slope and a point that belongs to the line, we can write this in point-slope form which will be:

y - 2 = -1/2(x - (-5)) *I used (-5, 2) but it doesn't matter which point you use

y = -1/2(x + 5) + 2

y = -1/2x - 1/2

Standard form:

1/2x + y = -1/2

x + 2y = -1
