in short, you simply pick a few random "x" values, to get the "y", and that's your point, for example say x = 2, then y = -(2)² - 4 => y = -8, that gives us the point of (2, -8), and so on.
we can start off by finding the vertex, the U-turn of the graph, and then just pick a point to its left side and a point to its right side, and we can get the vertex of that by

and since it's a vertical parabola, the axis of symmetry comes from the x-coordinate of the vertex, namely x = 0, check the picture below.
Answer:
Please check the wording of the question. There isn't enough information to select a single value of x.
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached worksheet shows two different combinations of pens and pencils that both sum to a total cost of $10. There are many other combinations that would do the same.
To find the constant of proportionality<span> here let's look at the </span>equation<span> of a line for a straight graph that passes through the origin. y is your vertical y-value for any given point on the line, x is your horizontal x-value for any given point on the line, and m is the slope.</span>
Answer:
Angle S
Step-by-step explanation:
The two triangles are similar, with the reason of (corr. angles, similar triangles), we get that angles S = angle N
