Use a graphing calculator to approximate the vertex of the graph of the parabola defined by the following equation. y = x squared + x + 6 a. (0.5, -5.75) c. (-0.5, 6) b. (-0.5, 5.75) d. (0.5, 5.75) Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

B. (-0.5, 5.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a graphing calc and analyze the graph for the minimum value (vertex).

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
