1. Perimeter
22a + 2(6a + 8) -4 = p
[I got 22a from 12a + 10a]
2. If p = 250, what is a?
22a + 2(6a + 8) - 4 = 250
Distributive property
22a + 12a + 16 - 4 = 250
Add like terms
34a + 12 = 250
Subtract 12 by both sides
34a = 238
Divide 34 by both sides
a = 7
Answer:
Slope: 
Y intercept: 7
Equation: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is found by doing the equation 
. When looking at the first two points, it's shown that the rise (difference between the two y values) is -3 (since it decreased by 3) and the run (difference between the two x values) is 4 (since it increased by 4).
This gives us a slope of .
The y intercept is found by looking at the y value when x = 0. In this picture, it is clear that it is 7.
The equation you want to use is y = mx + b , where b is the y intercept and m is the slope. Just plug in the numbers and you got your equation!
Answer:
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square, take the middle term bx and divide it in two. Then take the square.
x^2 - 6x - 8 has bx = -6x. Take -6/2 = -3. Square -3^2 = 9.
Now to finish completing the square add 9 and subtract 9 from one side.
y = x^2 - 6x - 8
y = (x^2 - 6x +9) -9 - 8
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
