Mischa wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form
The standard form of quadratic equation is
When y=0 then the standard equation becomes
Now we compare the given equation with and find the value of a, b,c
-x^2 can be written as -1x^2
a= -1 , b=4 and c=-7
The value of c is -7
Answer:
The slope is -3/4 and the y-intercept is 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
B is the point where the line cross the y-axis, or vertical axis. Slope is the steepness of the line. Determined by rise over run. When the slope goes down 3 units, the slope goes to the right 4 units.
It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
