15 point hurry In the following function defined by an equation in the form y = a x squared + b x + c, identify the values of a, b, and c.
y = two-thirds x squared + 3
a.
a = 0, b = two-thirds, c = 3
b.
a = two-thirds, b = 0, c = 3
c.
a = 0, b = 3, c = two-thirds
d.
a = two-thirds, b = two-thirds, c = 3

Given:

This equation is in the form .

To find:

The values of a, b and c.

Solution:

We have,

It can be written as

On comparing this equation with , we get

Therefore, the correct option is b.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
