"Completing the square" is a step in the solution of quadratic equations. It can be accomplished without the guesswork or trial-and-error associated with methods like factoring, and it always leads to a solution. It is the method by which the quadratic formula is derived.
No they don't lie on the same line because all coordinate points would be at different distances from the origin. The only way a point could be at the same line as the others would be they would have to have the same x- or y- axis points. (For example: 6,5; 3,5; and 2,5 would all be on the same line, horizontally, because the 5 in all three coordinates refers to the y- axis aka the horizontal axis
Anything to a negative power becomes the inverse with the coefficient to a positive power.
For example, 3^-1 becomes 1/3^1 or just 1/3.
3^-2 would be 1/3^2 or 1/9.
1, it is shifted 4 units up
