Answer:

the shape of the graph is a vertical straight line. So the angle is 90°

So tan 90° = infinite

Answer: The slope is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is undefined because it is based on the Rise (y) over the Run (x) of the data points. X is not changing even as y goes from -2 to 8. If we took the first and last points, (-1,-2) and (-1,8) and go from left to right, y increases by (8-(-2)) = 10 while x is unchanged, or o. Rise/Run therefore becomes 10/0. Division by 0 is undefined in math, so the slope is undefined.

This is a straight vertical line going through x = -1. All y's are on this line. Undefined slope.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a general quadratic formula given as ax²bx+c = 0

To generate the general formula to solve the quadratic equation, we can use the completing the square method as shown;

Step 1:

Bringing c to the other side

ax²+bx = -c

Dividing through by coefficient of x² which is 'a' will give:

x²+(b/a)x = -c/a

- Completing the square at the left hand side of the equation by adding the square of half the coefficient x i.e (b/2a)² and adding it to both sides of the equation we have:

x²+(b/a)x+(b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²

(x+b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²

(x+b/2a)² = -c/a + b²/4a²

- Taking the square root of both sides

√(x+b/2a)² = ±√-c/a + b²/√4a²

x+b/2a = ±√(-4ac+b²)/√4a²

x+b/2a =±√b²-4ac/2a

- Taking b/2a to the other side

x = -b/2a±√√b²-4ac/2a

Taking the LCM:

x = {-b±√b²-4ac}/2a

This gives the vertex form with how it is used to Solve a quadratic equation.
