Answer:

y : x: = 5 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x to y = 4 to 5

Rewrite;

x:y = 4:5

Remember, a ratio is another way of representing a fraction, hence one can do the same operations that one could do with a fraction. Therefore, one can take the cross products of a ratio;

x : y= 4 : 5

5x = 4y

Inverse operations;

5x = 4y

x = \frac{4}{5}y

Now substitute this into the equation y:x

y : \frac{4}{5}y

Rewrite as a fraction;

\frac{y}{\frac{5}{4}y}

Simplify;

\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}\\\\\frac{5}{4}

Rewrite as a ratio;

y : x = 5 : 4

You know it is not a minimum because the coefficient of the squared term is negative.

You know the vertex is (1, 3) because you match the pattern to
.. y = a(x -h)^2 +k
which has its vertex at (h, k).
