Draw a line through the point (2, 0) with a slope of 1/4
1 answer:
Answer:
y = 1/4 x - 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The general equation for a line is y = mx + b
You know that m = 1/4. The problem is what do you do about (2,0)?
Solution
y = 1/4 x + b Let x = 2 when y = 0
0 = 1/4 * 2 + b multiply 2 * 1/4
0 = 1/2 + b Subtract 1/2 from both sides
b = - 1/2
equation y = 1/4 x - 1/2

vertex = (3,- 5 )
given a quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 ), then
the x-coordinate of the vertex is
= -
y = x² - 6x + 4 is in standard form
with a = 1, b = - 6 and c = 4, hence
= -
= 3
substitute this value into the equation for y- coordinate
y = 3² - 6(3) + 4 = 9 - 18 + 4 = - 5
vertex = (3, - 5 ) → second table
