If we have the equation of a line: y=ax+b
How to find a if with only the x<span>-intercepts (called m)</span> and y-intercepts (called n)
+ First we have y=0 and x=m or 0=a*m+b or b= -a*m
+ Then we have x=0, y=n or n=a*0+b or b=n
And if m≠0 we have a= -n/m
and if m=0 this line has no slope
The answer is 3.16
explanation:
.
Answer:
y = - x² - 4x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = - (x + 2)² - 5 ← expand (x + 2)² using FOIL
= - (x² + 4x + 4) - 5 ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
= - x² - 4x - 4 - 5 ← collect like terms
= - x² - 4x - 9 ← in standard form
