Answer: because that is what the slope would look like
Step-by-step explanation:
when you graph this, you have a point at 2, 4 and 0, 8. when you go to 0, 8 and count down four so you now have to move to the right to get to 2, 4. You then move to the right 2 spaces. so, you moved (-4, 2) since this can be simplified, you then have (-2, 1) which is equal to -2. If this still doesnt make sense, go to Desmos.com and put (2,4) click the plus button then add expression then type (0,8). Count down -4 and over 2. Hope this helps
6b+4=2 has one variable
4+6=10 has no variable
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First off, <em>B</em> is zero, so there is no <em>phase shift</em>, meaning that the vertex stays on the y-axis. Next, <em>A</em> is negative, so the parabola opens down, and whenever you have a parabola opening down, it does so at maximum. Finally, <em>C</em> represents our y-intercept, or in this case, our <em>vertical shift</em>. Our y-intercept is (0, −1), and so as our vertex, hence our answer.

Answer: Choice D)
F(x) > 0 over the inverval (-infinity, -4)
Translation: The y or f(x) values are positive whenever x < -4.
========================================================
Further Explanation:
Recall that y = f(x), so if we say something like f(x) < 0 then we mean y < 0. Choice A is false because points on the curve to the left of x = -4 have positive y coordinates. Similar reasoning applies to choice B as well.
Choice C is false because while the interval (-infinity, -4) is above the x axis, the portion from x = -4 to x = -3 is below the x axis.
Choice D is true because everything to the left of x = -4 is above the x axis. Pick any point on the blue curve that is to the left of x = -4. This point will be above the horizontal x axis. Keep in mind that the parenthesis notation attached to the -4 means we dont include -4 as part of the interval.
