i give metals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which system of equations is represented by the graph?

@freckles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@triciaal i need help with this one

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Okay, so you have a line with 2 points: \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm (-6,7) }\) and \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm (-1,2) }\) . You should be able to find the line by first finding the slope and then the y-intercept. The parabola, can be found as well: It will be some \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm y=x^2 ... }\) since it is second degreee and opens up

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You need to figure out the scale factor by which you stretch. \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm (-3,-2) }\) is the vertex. \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm (-1,2) }\) is another point, and y intercept \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm (0,6) }\) I can make a reasonable guess for a stretch factor to be 1. \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ y=(x+3)^2-2 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

oh that doesn't work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be y = x2 + 6x – 7x – y = 1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 6=a(0+3)^2-2 }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=x2+6x-7x-y=1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 6=9a-2 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 8=9a }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ a=8/9 }\) So the parabola is: \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ y=\frac{\Large 8}{\Large9}(x+3)^2-2 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I solved for a, using any of the points, knowing the vertex (-3,-2)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Will post it's graph. \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ y=\frac{\Large 8}{\Large9}(x+3)^2-2 }\) https://www.desmos.com/calculator/uh8o9n64da

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

found the parabola for you: \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ y=\frac{\Large 8}{\Large9}(x+3)^2-2 }\) can you find the line for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

if you can't do it just from the graph, have 2 points: \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ (-6,7) }\) and \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ (-1,2) }\) use: \(\large\color{teal}{ m=\frac{\LARGE y_{\large 1}-y_{\large 2}}{\LARGE x_{\large 1}-x_{\large 2}} }\) for the slope.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

still troubling

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 8/-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/7

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

retry again please

OpenStudy (triciaal):

remember when you subtract a negative it becomes a positive

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ 7 -2 }\) \(\large\color{black}{_{\Huge m= } ~~\text{__________} }\) \(\large\color{black}{ -6 -(-1) }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 1

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@SolomonZelman will using 3 points on the parabola and the equation ax^2 + bx = c = 0 take longer but give the same result?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

no need

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you want to find the prabaola, or what?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

parabola*

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

for parabola, as I did: \(\large\color{black}{ y=a(x+3)^2-2 }\) , because the vertex is given: \(\large\color{black}{ (-3,-2) }\) and then plug in y-intercept \(\large\color{black}{ (0,6) }\) to solve for a. (as I did, and got 8/9)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

which seems to be perfect from the graph, https://www.desmos.com/calculator/und29v5sfy \(\large\color{black}{ \smile }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=x2-6x-7x-y=1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

??

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what have you found the line to be? have you found the line or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you have the 2 points, we plugged them in, |dw:1420076605816:dw|
