Answer:

a=\dfrac{7}{2} \\\\b=\dfrac{49}{4} \\

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2+7x-5\\\\=x^2+2*\dfrac{7}{2}*x +\dfrac{49}{4} -\dfrac{49}{4} -\dfrac{20}{4} \\\\=(x+\dfrac{7}{2} )^2+\dfrac{69}{4} \\\\a=\dfrac{7}{2} \\\\b=\dfrac{49}{4} \\

Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is written in the form y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

When there isn't a slope, as in the line is flat and it isn't moving up or down, you wouldn't write anything for it. You would just write y equals the y-intercept (y = b).

Likewise, if the y-intercept is at (0,0), then you'd only write y equals the slope (y = mx).

Hopefully this makes sense :)

Btw, I also answered in the main comments earlier, so you can check that out as well.
