Answer:
-2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of two points
m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (-4-2)/(1--8)
= (-4-2)/(1+8)
= -6/9
-2/3

Answer:
Vertex: (-1, 4)
Maximum: f(-1) = 4
Increasing: (-∞, -1)
Decreasing: (-1, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be written in vertex form by "completing the square."
First factor out the leading coefficient from the x-terms.
f(x) = -(x² +2x) +3
Then add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses. Add the opposite of that amount outside parentheses.
f(x) = -(x² +2x +1) +3 +1
Write in vertex form.
f(x) = -(x +1)² +4 . . . . . . . compare to a(x -h)² +k
You can see that the vertex is (h, k) = (-1, 4), and that the vertical scale factor 'a' is negative. This means the vertex is the maximum and the parabola opens downward.
The function will be increasing to the left of the maximum, decreasing to its right.

Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
