The reciprocal of 9 2/3 is 3/29
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = (x - h)² + k (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex
Given y = x² + 7x - 5
To express in vertex form use the method of completing the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²
y = x² + 2(
)x +
-
- 5
y = (x +
)² -
- 
y = (x +
)² - 
Hence
a =
and b = - 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line in question is the same as the slope of the line parallel to it. Using y = mx + b, where m is the slope, we find the slope of our line is -3.
Using the pt-slope form, y - y1 = m( x - x1), we get y - (-1) = -3( x - 2) or y + 1 = -3x + 6. Which leads us to y = -3x + 5. QED
