Answer:

slople = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-3, 4) & (x₂ , y₂) = (2 , -1)

$slope =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\\\=\frac{-1-4}{2-[-3]}\\\\\\=\frac{-1-4}{2+3}\\\\\\=\frac{-5}{5}\\\\= -1$

Answer:

$y = {x}^{2} - 2$

Or if you want with the value of h too.

$y = {(x - 0)}^{2} - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k$

Find the value of h and k by using the formula.

$h = - \frac{b}{2a} \\ k = \frac{4ac - {b}^{2} }{4a}$

From y = x²-2

$a = 1 \\ b = 0 \\ c = - 2$

Substitute these values in the formula.

$h = - \frac{0}{2(1)} \\ h = 0$

Therefore, h = 0.

$k = \frac{4(1)( - 2) - {0}^{2} }{4(1)} \\ k = \frac{ - 8}{4} \\ k = - 2$

Therefore, k = - 2.

From the vertex form, the vertex is at (h, k) = (0,-2). Substitute h = 0, a = 1 and k = -2 in the equation.

$y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k \\ y = 1 {(x - 0)}^{2} - 2 \\ y = {(x)}^{2} - 2 \\ y = {x}^{2} - 2$

These type of equation where b = 0 can also be both standard and vertex form.

Answer:

$\underline{x\in\left\{-6\,,\ 1\right\}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+5x-6=0\\\\a=1\,,\ \ b=5\,,\ \ c=-6\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-6)}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{25+24}}2=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{49}}2=\dfrac{-5-7}2=-6\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-6)}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5+7}2=1$
