Answer:

The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{-4}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula change in y over change in x to find the slope:

$\frac{5-4}{2-6}$

Then we simplify:

$\frac{1}{-4}$

The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{-4}$ .

What is the vertex of the graph of the function below? <br><br>y = x2 + 8x + 12

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Hello,

$The\,\,formula\,\,for\,\,the\,\,vertex\,\,of\,\,a\,\,quadratic\,\,equation\,\,is: \\ V=( -\frac{b}{2a},f(-\frac{b}{2a}) )$

That means that we must first obtain x, then we replace x in the function to get y, so:

$x=- \frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ x=- \frac{8}{2*(1)} \\ \\ \boxed{x=-4} \\ \\ Reeplacing \,\,x: \\ y=(-4)^{2} +8*(-4)+12 \\ y=16-32+12 \\ \boxed{y=-4}$

Answer: V=(-4 , -4)

If Z is the midpoint of RT , what are x, RZ AND RT?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Since z is the midpoint, rz and zt must be equal

4x - 15 = 25

4x = 40

X = 10
Plug the answer in and rz equals 40-15 which is 25.

25 + 25 = 50

Or if you really wanted, since you know 25 is half, just add them together right off the bat. (25 and 25, I mean)

Answer:

lesser x: - 6

greater x: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x + 2)² – 16

(x + 2)² – 16 = 0

(x + 2 + 4) (x + 2 - 4) = 0

(x + 6)(x - 2) = 0

roots (zero): x = -6 or x = 2
