Answer:

2a)  -2

b) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h

2 a)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then

                 f(6) = 0

⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         16a - 6 = 0

⇒              16a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/16 = 3/8

So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒      3/8(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 16

⇒              x - 2 = ±4

⇒                   x = 6,  -2

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2

b)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then

                 f(-4) = 0

⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         36a - 6 = 0

⇒              36a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/36 = 1/6

So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒  1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒       1/6(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 36

⇒              x - 2 = ±6

⇒                   x = 8,  -4

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8

Slope= 5 and passes through (-2,0) in slope-intercept form
lilavasa [31]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope m = 5 → y=5x+b

and point (-2, 0). Substitute:

0=-2(5)+b

0=-10+b       <em>add 10 to both sides</em>

10=b\to b=10

<h3>Answer: y = 5x + 10</h3>
