Answer:

y = (x + 2)² - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² + 4x - 9

To complete the square

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 4x

y = x² + 2(2)x + 4 - 4 - 9

= (x + 2)² - 13 ← in vertex form

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

take angle C as reference angle

using cos rule

cos C=adjacent/hypotenuse

cos C=21/75

cos C=0.28

What is the slope of the line through (3,2) and (-3,4)?

NISA [10]

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 4 )

m = $\frac{4-2}{-3-3}$ = $\frac{2}{-6}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$
