There can only be two definite x-intercepts, so your goal it to find 2 numbers of x that, when plugged into the equation, give you the answer of 0. 1 is the first x-intercept(4-24+20 equals 0). The second one is 5 (100-120+20 equals 0). So the average is 3, so the axis of symmetry is 3 since 5+1=6, and 6/2=3
Honestly, there is an easier way to find the axis of symmetry. the equation would be -b/2a, where as b is the coefficient in the second part of the equation, while a is the first coefficient in the equation. -(-24) is 24, and 4*2=8, so 24/8=3
I hope I actually answered this the way you wanted. You asked for an equation, but I just answered the axis of symmetry with very simple equation initially and another equation

Answer:
The answer to your question is 3 feet
Since we don't know how much Eric makes per dog, let's let <em>x </em>represent that value. Let's also let <em>y</em> represent our answer.
First, let's consider the two numbers we KNOW will be in the equation. The 56 that Eric made dog sitting and the 168 he made in total on Tuesday. Now, we're going to need to use subtraction and division in this equation.
(168 - 45) ÷ <em>x</em> = <em>y</em>
Hope this answer helped you out. :)
Looking at the slope of the "best-fit" line, you can see that for every two hours of homework, 15 more points are scored. (compare t=0 to t=2).
For t=5, the line seems to go through 47.5. So for t=7, which is two hours more, you'd expect a score of 47.5+15 = 62.5.
That answer is in the list, so I'd choose that.
In reality, you would never be able to have any score you like just by putting more hours in, so this can never be a straight line forever...
