to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, let's use those two points in the picture below.
keeping in mind that for the point-slope form, either point will do, in this case we used the second one, but the first one would have worked just the same.
Answer:
-4
+3
12
-0.5, 12.25
x = -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The x intercepts are the values of x when y = 0 ie the roots of the equation
or
We can re-write the above as:
(x+4) (x-3) = 0
This gives the two roots as x = -4 and x = +3. Leftmost (smallest) root is -4 and rightmost(largest) root is +3
y intercept is when x = 0. Plugging into the original equation, y value at x = 0 is 12
Vertex x value is given by the formula -b/2a where a is the coefficient of x^2 and b the coefficient of x
Here a = -1, b= -1 so vertex x value = - (-1)/(-1).2 = - 1/2 = -0.5
Plugging this value of x into the original function gives the vertex y value
The line of symmetry is the vertical line corresponding to the vertex x value so line of symmetry is at x = -0.5
The graph of the quadratic function shows these values
