Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points by using the slope formula, m  = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(0)-(-5)}{(-2)-(10)} \\m = \frac{0+5}{-2-10} \\m=\frac{5}{-12}

Thus, the slope of the line is -\frac{5}{12}.

2) Next, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for m, x_1, and y_1 in the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{12} in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-2,0), as seen below.) Then, isolate y and expand the right side in the resulting equation to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

y-(0)=-\frac{5}{12} (x-(-2))\\y-0 = -\frac{5}{12} (x+2)\\y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}

(5x^2-21x-20)/(5x^2-16x-16)

((x-5)(5x+4))/((x-4)(5x+4))

(x-5)/(x-4)

x² - 3 x - 54 = x² + 6 x - 9 x - 54 = x ( x + 6 ) - 9 ( x + 6 ) = ( x + 6 ) ( x - 9 )

x² - 18 x + 81 = ( x - 9 )²

x² + 12 x + 36 = ( x + 6 )²

... = ( x + 6 ) · ( x - 9 ) / ( x - 9 )²  * ( x + 6 )² / ( x + 6 ) = ( after cancellation )

=  ( x + 6 )² / ( x - 9 )

After solving the given problem, I’ve been able to get 3(x-2) / 2(x-3) as the simplified form of the given equation. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

If I understand clearly, the expression is

(18st^4/52s^3t)(16s^3/9s^2t)

To simply the expression, we simply have to multiply the constants and reduce the product to the lowest terms and apply the laws on exponents to simplify the variables. So, the answer would be:

8t^2/13s

(40v^2)/(35v^4) / (20v^3)/(5v)

(8)/(7v^2) / (4v^2/1)

(8)/(7v^2) * (1 / 4v^2)

2/(7v^4)

In f(x) = a(x - p)(x - 9), what does "a" tell us?​
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(x-p)(x-9) is the equation of a vertical  parabola.

If a>0, the parabola opens upwards.

If a<0, the parabola opens downwards.

Also, the focal length of the parabola is 1/|4a|.
