Our parabola open downward and therefore a is negative.

Explanation:
As value of a changes from positive to negative or from negative to positive, the direction of opening changes. For negative values of a we got negative parabolas that open downward. As the original formula y = x^2 we see that x^2 will always be positive because when you square a number it always gives positive value. Therefore the direction for which it will open, depends on value of a.

Answer:

The parabola is vertical (opens up or down).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x is squared or if a is positive, the parabola opens up or to the right. If it is negative, it opens down or to the left. The vertex is at (h, k).

Answer:

y=\frac{6}{5}x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the slope (or m in y=mx+b) is 6/5 we just need to solve for b

we will do this by plugging in the required coordinates

-2=(6/5)*5+b

-2=6+b

-8=b

put it all together

Answer:

b= 9.17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 feet from the wall is the bottom part of the triangle. The 10 ft. ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Use the Pythagorean Theorem and substitute the known values.

a^2+b^2=c^2

4^2+b^2=10^2

Then square all the known values

16+b^2=100

Then get b by itself

b^2=-16+100

add -16 and 100

b^2=84

and finally square root both sides of the equation

b=9.16515 ft or 9.17 ft
