Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

base fee= $60

charge per hour= $15

let the number of hours the plumber work be x

the linear function for the charge is the equation of line.

that is y=mx+c

Step two:

given that y=$240

240=15x+60

240-60=15x

180=15x

divide both sides by 15 we have

x=180/15

x=12

<u>The number of hours is 12</u>

Suppose a parabola has vertex (5,-3) and also passes through the point (6, 1). Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form
Alchen [17]

General form for vertex form is:

y = a(x - h)² + k

Where the vertex is the point (h, k). We know this to be (5, -3), so we can substitute the values for h and k to get:

y = a(x - 5)² - 3

We then also have another point (6, 1) that gives us an x and y. Substitute those in to leave one unknown which we can solve for:

1 = a(6 - 5)² - 3

1 = a(1)² - 3

1 = a(1) - 3

1 = a - 3

4 = a

So the equation of this parabola in vertex form is:

y = 4(x - 5)² - 3
