Help me change this equation from slope intercept form to standard form. Y=2(x-1)(x-6)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Multiply this first: 2 * (x - 1) Can you do that?

OpenStudy (cutiecomittee123):

Yes 2x-2

OpenStudy (igreen):

That isn't slope intercept form..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Did you put down the right equation?

OpenStudy (catlover5925):

slope intercept form is Y = Mx + B M is the slope and B is the y intercept

OpenStudy (cutiecomittee123):

Is it vertex form then?

OpenStudy (igreen):

I think it's going to be.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Multiply: 2x - 2 * x - 6

OpenStudy (cutiecomittee123):

So vertex to standard

OpenStudy (igreen):

(2x - 2) * (x - 6)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Okay

OpenStudy (cutiecomittee123):

Okay

OpenStudy (cutiecomittee123):

Then what

OpenStudy (igreen):

Multiply (2x - 2) * (x - 6)

OpenStudy (cutiecomittee123):

2x^2-14x+12 ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (igreen):

That's our answer. \(\sf y = 2x^2 - 14x + 12\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Standard form of a Parabola: \(\sf ax^2 + bx + c\)
