Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I’m assuming that the equation is to be written in slope intercept form (y=mx+b), so for this, you want to find the slope and y-intercept. To find the slope, use the equation in picture 1.
0 - 5 = -5
1 - 5 = -4
-5 / -4 = 1.25
So m, or the slope, is equal to 1.25.
To find the y-intercept, make a table like the second picture. Choose one of the ordered pairs as the given. I used 1,0.
0,?
1,0
Now find the change in x, which in this case, is 1. Then set up something like picture three.
1.25/1 = ?/1
?=1.25
Now backtrack to get:
0, -1.25
1, 0
Now we know what is y when x is 0, we know the y intercept and can make the equation:
y = 1.25x - 1.25
.6666666667 that is a equivalent decimal
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.
Given
f(x) = - 0.6x² + 4.2x + 240 ← factor out - 0.6 from the first 2 terms
= - 0.6(x² - 7x) + 240
To complete the square
add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 7x
f(x) = - 0.6(x² + 2(- 3.5)x + 12.25 - 12.25 ) + 240
= - 0.6 (x - 3.5)² + 7.35 + 240
= - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35
with vertex = (3.5, 247.35 )
The maximum value is the y- coordinate of the vertex
Then
f(x) = - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35 has a maximum value of 247.35
Is the slope really -2-2? Or is that a miss type?
5 is 25 percent of 20. 5 times 4 is 20. 100 divided by 4 is 25.
