1. Which point is NOT on the graph represented by y = x^2 + 3x - 6? A. (-6, 12) B. (-4,-2) C. (2,4) D. (3,-6)2. What is an equation of the line that passes through (-2,3) and (6,-1)?

Respuesta :

If a point is in the graph of the parabola it needs to satisfy the equation. So we just need to find which values does not satisfy the equation

[tex](-6)^2+3(-6)-6=12,[/tex]

then the number A. IS on the graph

[tex](-4)^2+3(-4)-6=-2,[/tex]

then the number B. IS on the graph

[tex](2)^2+3(2)-6=4,[/tex]

then the number B. IS on the graph, and finally

[tex](3)^2+3(3)-6=12,[/tex]

since this is diferent from -6, then (3,-6) is NOT on the graph. Then the answer is D. (3,-6)

The point-slope form is

[tex]y-a=m(x-a)[/tex]

we find the slope using the formula

[tex]m=\frac{-1-3}{6-(-2)}=\frac{-4}{8}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Replacing this, and the point (-2,3)

[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-2)=-\frac{1}{2}(x-3) \\ y+2=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2} \\ 2y+2=-x+3 \\ x+2y=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The equation of the line is x+2y=1
