Answer:
y - 8 = (3/2)(x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from (-4, 8) to (2, -1), x increases by 6 (this is the run) and y decreases by 9 (this is the "rise"). Thus, the slope is
m = rise / run = 9/6, or 3/2.
Using the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line, we get:
y - 8 = (3/2)(x + 4)
A simple answer is that any given trapezoid with height h and length of the parallel lines a and b, is half of a parallelogram with an area of (a+b) x h. Since the trapezoid is half of this, it is h(a+b)/2
It’s a. vertex is the lowest or highest point so (1,-8) x-intercepts is where the parabola hits the x axis so (-1,0) and (3,0)
