the parabola has maximum at 9, meaning is a vertical parabola and it opens downwards.
it has a symmetry at x = -5, namely its vertex's x-coordinate is -5.
check the picture below.
so then, we can pretty much tell its vertex is at (-5 , 9), and we also know it passes through (-7, 1)

Since each leg of the large trapezoid is bisected, then HJ is the average of the lengths of KL and NM.
HJ = (KL + NM)/2
2(HJ) = KL + nm
2(5x + 2) = 4x + 1 + 27
10x + 4 = 4x + 28
6x = 24
x = 4
KL = 4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17
Answer: KL = 17
It would equal 15. To get 15, you would first do 1*10= which equals 10. After that, you would add 5 to the 10 then there's your answer. I hoped this helped!

Answer:
4 3/16 miles a day
Step-by-step explanation:
16 3/4 miles in 4 days
Divide 16 3/4 by 4
16 3/4 = 67/4
4 = 4/1
To divide you multiply by the reciprocal(flip of the numerator and denominator)
67/4 ÷ 4 = 67/4 x 1/4 = 67/16
67/16 = 4 3/16
