Okay. So the equation is 4x² - 16. We're talking about moving 7 units to the right and 3 units down. That formula would be h(x) = 4(x - 7)² - 19, because you would add -3 to the -16 units to get -19, and you would put the parenthesis around x and the 7 in order for it to move right. Keep in mind that parenthesis around x and a term means that we move either left or right, which didn't occur in the original equation. -16 is the amount of units down and adding -3 to it makes it -19. The answer is A.
Answer: Yes, it is a solution
===================================================
Explanation:
Any ordered pair, aka point, is of the form (x,y)
x is always listed first
The point (0,-2) means x = 0 and y = -2 pair up together
Let's plug them into the equation and simplify everything
x-2y = 4
0-2(-2) = 4
0+4 = 4
4 = 4
We end up with a true statement since we get the same thing on both sides, therefore the original equation is true for (x,y) = (0,-2)
(0,-2) is a solution to the given equation
Phrased another way: the point (0,-2) is on the line x-2y = 4. This point is the y intercept.
