it cant be a negative number or zero
so now you are left with 0.5, 2 and 7.9
15.7 - 0.5 = 15.2 ( 15.2/2 = 7.6) this is possible
15.7 - 2 = 13.7 ( 13.7/2 = 6.85) this is possible
15.7 - 7.9 = 7.8 ( 7.8/2 = 3.9) (7.9/2 = 3.95) since the sides would be shorter than half the base this is not possible to form a triangle
so b can be either 0.5 or 2

Answer:
x=-4.36
Step-by-step explanation:
32 is closer to 33 than it is to 40
Vertex form of a parabola
<span>y = a (x - h)^2 + k </span>
<span>where (h, k) is the vertex </span>
Substituting the values of h and k.
we get,
<span>y = a(x + 4)^2 + 2 </span>
<span>substituting in the point (0, -30) for x and y
</span><span>-30 = a (0 + 4)^2 + 2
</span>solve for a,
<span>-30 = 16 a + 2 </span>
<span>-32 = 16 a </span>
<span>-2 = a </span>
<span>y = -2(x + 4)^2 + 2 </span>
<span>Put y = 0 </span>
<span>-2 x^2 - 16 x - 30 = 0 </span>
<span>-2(x^2 + 8 x + 15) = 0 </span>
<span>x^2 + 8 x + 15 = 0 </span>
<span>(x + 3)(x + 5) = 0 </span>
<span>x = -3
x = -5</span>
Since your slope is 3, (the number for slope is always right before x) and your y-intercept is one (that is always the number after the x) your answer would be B
