First you get "y" by itself. To do so you divide 2 on both sides.
y = 3/2x + 5
To write an equation of a line that is PARALLEL to this equation, the slopes have to be the SAME. So the slope is 3/2.
You then use the equation:
y = mx + b
SInce you know "m" you plug it in.
y = 3/2x + b
Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in the point (2, -5) into this equation.
-5 = 3/2(2) + b
-5 = 3 + b
-8 = b
Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.
y = 3/2x - 8
Any point with the y of 5 could be the answer
Answer:
(5,0) & (4,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts are where the graph touches the x-axis. The parabola clearly touches in the x-axis at points 4 and 5.
