Answer:
I believe it is C) decreasing when x > -1
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plot all 3 points on a graph, you will notice that the parabola is facing downwards. This means that on the left side of the vertex, it is increasing (the y-value increases). On the right side of the vertex, it decreases (y-value decreases). Note that "decreasing" refers to the y values.
So, since the vertex's x-value is -1 (we know this from the point (-1, 2)), any x-value greater than -1 will be to the right of the vertex. For example, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. are all greater x-values than -1, so they are all to the right of -1. Since they are on the right, that means the corresponding-values will be decreasing.
Therefore, when x > -1, the parabola is decreasing.
8x + 14y = 4
-6x - 7y=-10 / *2
8x + 14y=4
-12x -14y= -20

-4x=-16 => x=4; y= -2
Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number. when you find the factors of two or more numbers, and then find some of the numbers (factors) are the same (common) you have common factors.
example: 12 and 36
12: 1x12, 2x6, 3x4
36: 1x36, 2x18, 3x12, 4x9, 6x6
the common factors in these numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
hope this helped you out!
