Answer:
1. It has two points in common with the x-axis.
2. The vertex in relation to the x-axis is at 
Step-by-step explanation:
The points that the equation has in common with the x-axis are the points of intersection of the parabola with the x-axis.
To find them, substitute y=0 and solve for "x":

Use the Quadratic formula:

It has two points in common with the x-axis.
To find the vertex in relation to the x-axis, use the formula:

Substituting values, you get:

You will choose 1 cheese 3 different ways because there are three types of cheeses.
You will choose your topings 6 different ways. 4!/(2!2!) = 4*3/2 = 6
Therefore you will be able to get 6 * 3 different pizzas = 18 pizza combinations.
To confirm the toppings, suppose they are (M)ushrooms (P)epperoni (O)nions and (B)acon
M P
M O
M B
P O
P B
O B
Total 6.The order doesn't matter here. M O is the same thing as OM
Answer: y = -(9/5)x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the equation in standard form: y = (5/9)x+(8/9). [y=mx+b]
A line perpendicular to this would have a slope that is the negative inverse of the original slope (5/9), which would make it -(9/5). The y-intercept would also change, but we don't know the value, yet. For now, we'll use "b" for the y-intercept. This results in a perpendicular line:
y = -(9/5)x + b
We can calculate b, the y-intercept, by using the point (-5,8) and solving for b.
8 = -(9/5)*(-5) + b
8 = (9) + b
b = -1
The line perpendicular to 5x−9y=−8 that passes through the point (−5,8) is
y = -(9/5)x - 1
ratio of 6:10, if you divide both numbers by 2 you get a ratio of 3:5
multiply by 2 you get 12:20
multiply by 1.5 you get 9:15
D is not equivalent
