Answer:
(2,-17) should be the minimum.
Step-by-step explanation:
The minimum of a quadratic function occurs at 
. If a is positive, the minimum value of the function is 
occurs at
Find the value of
x = 2
evaluate f(2).
replace the variable x with 2 in the expression.
simplify the result.
The final answer is -17
Use the x and y values to find where the minimum occurs.

To be able to graph this you need to start on -2 on the y-axis then move up 5 then 1 to the right
The dot should be on (1,3)
Answer: Slope = 5/4
y-intercept = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the table:
Months, m Plant height in inches, n
0 2
2 4.5
4 7
6 9.5
We want a linear relationship to represent this table.
A linear relationship can be written as:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.
For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:
a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
In this case we can select any pair of points, for example, i will choose the first two:
(0, 2) and (2, 4.5)
Then the slope is:
a = (4.5 - 2)/(2 - 0) = (2.5/2) = 1.25 = 5/4
Then our line can be written as:
y = (5/4)*x + b
To find the value of b, we can replace the values of any of the points in the equation, for example, i will use the point (0, 2) or x = 0, y = 2.
2 = (5/4)*0 + b
2 = b
Then our equation is:
y = (5/4)*x + 2.
Slope = 5/4
y-intercept = 2
You would find the decimal of a percentage by dividing the percentage by 100.
2.5/100=0.025
All it takes for a relation to be a function is for each possible first number of a pair there's only one possible second number.
So if any of the sets has two pairs with the same first number, that one's not a function.
The last one has (3,2) and (3,5) so isn't a function.
