Answer:

<h2>A. -4 (should have negative sign.)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

$\sf \dfrac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}$

y2=10

y1=2

x2=4

x1=6

Solve.

$\dfrac{10-2}{4-6}$

10-2=8

4-6=(-2)

Divide.

8÷(-2)=-4

So, the correct answer is -4.

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of the function y = –2x^2 +6x – 1.

ki77a [65]

Hello :
<span>y = –2x² +6x – 1.
y = -2(x²-3x)-1
y= -2( x² -2(3/2)x +(3/2)² - </span>(3/2)²)-1
y = -2((x-3/2)² -9/4))-1
y = -2(x-3/2)² +7/2
the <span>axis of symmetry is the line : x = 3/2 and vertex : (3/2 , 7/2 ) </span>
