Vertex form for a parabola with vertex (p,q) is

We have (p,q)=(-4,5) and another point (-3,2) so we can solve for <em>a:</em>



Putting it together,
Answer: 
We could multiply that out if we like but I won't bother.
Answer:
8. c. (-1, -1)
9. a. (-6, -1)
b. True
Step-by-step Explanation:
8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:
let 


Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C
and 
Solve for each:












Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)
9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:
let 


and 
Solve for each:












Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)
b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.

Answer: 15 hours (choice D)</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
(6 hours)/(8 trees) = (x hours)/(20 trees)
6/8 = x/20
6*20 = 8*x ... cross multiply
120 = 8x
8x = 120
x = 120/8
x = 15
It takes him 15 hours to plant 20 trees.
Answer:True, true, true.
