In any parabola, the vertex is the turning point. And the x-coordinate of the vertex can be found using

So, in your case, you have

So, your equation actually looks like

Now impose the passing through (2,1), i.e. substitute x=2, y=1 and solve for b:

Slope = (6 - 3)/(-2-2)
= 3/-4
= -3/4
answer
slope = -3/4
Answer: 8/15 + 2/5 = 0.93etc or 14/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
There are a total of possible 1820 results.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are two competitions, one for boys and one for girls, and we want all the possible results we will calculate the possible combinations for the boys and multiply them by the possible combinations for the girls. This is shown below:


Total number of possible results:
