The answer is -3
If you really think hard the slope will end up being -5/2 so it is -3

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1, so replace the variables with the given values.

-5-5/1-x= -5/2, now multiply both sides by "1-x"

-5-5= -5/2(1-x) or -10=-5/2+5/2x, now add 5/2 to both sides

-20/2+5/2=5/2x, now simplify the equation

-15/2=5/2x, multiply both sides by 2/5

-30/10=x or x is -3

Find the vertex of the parabola y=2x^2-16x+34

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The standard equation is y=ax^2+bx+k and the vertex way is y=a(x-h)(x-h)+x

so the coordinate for x is -b/2a, for your problem a=-4 b=-16 so the coordinate for x is -(-16)/(2*(-4))=-2. Now you have to replace x=-2 in your equation y=-4(-2)^2-16(-2)-11= 5.

The vertex is (-2, 5)

The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 126 what is the second highest integer

uysha [10]

Second highest integer will have value of $n+2$ .

$n+(n+1)+(n+2)+(n+3)=126 \\4n+6=126 \\n=30$

So the value of the second highest of the consecutive integers is 32.

Hope this helps.
