Answer:
Gradient = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
The gradient of a line is the slope of the line.
The standard form of the line equation is y = mx + b
where m is the slope ( or gradient) b is the y - intercept.
Given :
2y = -10x + 1

The slope of the line is positive
Well, ....... X=57/2 or 28.5 but not are equivalent
4x=6x-14
First isolate the variables onto one side and the numbers on the other so subtract 4x from both sides of the equation and add 14 to both sides of the equation to get 14=2x then you are going to want to completely isolate the variable so you divide 2 on both sides to get an answer of X=7
Y=a(x-h)^2+k
vertex form is basically completing the square
what you do is
for
y=ax^2+bx+c
1. isolate x terms
y=(ax^2+bx)+c
undistribute a
y=a(x^2+(b/a)x)+c
complete the square by take 1/2 of b/a and squaring it then adding negative and postive inside
y=a(x^2+(b/a)x+(b^2)/(4a^2)-(b^2)/(4a^2))+c
complete square
too messy \
anyway
y=2x^2+24x+85
isolate
y=(2x^2+24x)+85
undistribute
y=2(x^2+12x)+85
1/2 of 12 is 6, 6^2=36
add neagtive and postivie isnde
y=2(x^2+12x+36-36)+85
complete perfect square
y=2((x+6)^2-36)+85
distribute
y=2(x+6)^2-72+85
y=2(x+6)^2+13
vertex form is
y=2(x+6)^2+13
