Answer:
a = -3 and b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 6x + 10
→ Half the second term and place it in the bracket
( x - 3 )²
→ Square -3
- ( 3 )² = -9
→ Place this outside the brackets along with plus 10
( x - 3 ) ² - 9 + 10
→ Simplify
( x - 3 ) ² + 1
Multiply out the bracket so
-27 + 36w - 8w
Then collect the terms so
-27 + 28w
Answer = - 27 + 28w
Ashley starts with 45 comics.
So in the first box:
x = 0, y = 45
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each month, she adds 5 comic books to her collection
x (+1), y (+5) (for each month).
First month.
x = 0
y = 45
Second month
x = 1
y = 45 (+5) = 50
Third month
x = 2
y = 50 (+5) = 55
etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B) is your best choice, as for every month add (+1), the comic books increase by 5 respectively.

The answer is -2.21428571429
Answer:
(-1,0), (0,3) and (2,2.25)
Step-by-step explanation:
The qualitative graph is as follows:
A(-1,0) ------> B(0,3) ------> C(2,2.25)
Hence, slope = (2.25 - 0)/(2 - (-1)) = 2.25/3
∴ slope = 0.75
