Answer:

- \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope (gradient) and c the y- intercept )

Given

2y = - 3x - 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - \frac{3}{2} x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient = - \frac{3}{2}

What’s the distributive property of 17 x 8
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember simple multiplication?  Write the problem with 17 at the bottom:

      8

*  1 7

----------

    5 6        <-- this is 8*7

    8 0        <-- this is 8*10   [we sometimes just shift and don't write the 0]

-------

  1 3 6

So, 8*17 is the same as 8*10 + 8*7.

On a coordinate plane, two parabolas open up. The solid-line parabola, labeled f of x, goes through (negative 2, 4), has a verte
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Option 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola is

g(x)=a(x-h)^2+k                    ... (1)

where, a is a constant (h,k) is vertex.

The given function is

f(x)=x^2

The vertex of the function is (0,0) and it goes through (-2, 4) and (2, 4).

It is given that the vertex of function g(x) is at (5,2).

Substitute h=5 and k=2 in equation.

g(x)=a(x-5)^2+2

g(x) is passes through (3, 6).

6=a(3-5)^2+2             .... (2)

6-2=4a

4=4a

Divide both sides by 4.

a=1

Substitute a=1 in equation (2).

g(x)=1(x-5)^2+2

g(x)=(x-5)^2+2

The function g(x) is g(x)=(x-5)^2+2.

Therefor, the correct option is 4.
