The subtraction sign in front of the second set of parenthesis changes the signs on the terms inside those parenthesis. So this could be rewritten as

. None of the exponents on the x are the same, so we will just express it in terms of descending powers of x.

. This is also the same as

if you don't like to start with a negative. Either one is correct.
Answer:
y = 1 - x
Step-by-step explanation:
9x + 9y = 9 ( divide through by 9 )
x + y = 1 ( subtract x from both sides )
y = 1 - x
The line should go from (0,0) to (7,3.5)
The equation is Y = X(0.5)
Answer: q(x) = 0.005(x - 40)² + 70
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k <em>where a is the vertical stretch and (h, k) is the vertex.</em>
Which coordinate shifts the graph up?<em> The y-coordinate for the vertex is k.</em>
p(x) = 0.005(x - 40)² + 60
q(x) = 0.005(x - 40)² + 60 <u>+ 10</u>
= 0.005(x - 40)² + 70
