Question

Identify the a, b, and c-values for this equation:

y=-2x²+x-5
–
1. a= 2, b= 1, c= -5
2. a= -2, b=1, C = -5
3. a= -2, b = 0, c= -5
3. a= -2, b=1, c= 5

Answer 1

The coefficients of the quadratic equation y = -2x² + x - 5 are a = -2, b = 1, and c = -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is y = -2x² + x - 5, which is in the standard form of a quadratic equation where the general form is ax² + bx + c. For this specific equation, the coefficient of x² is -2, which is a, the coefficient of x is 1, which is b, and the constant term is -5, which is c. So, the values are a = -2, b = 1, and c = -5.

Answer 2

option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the standard form of a quadratic is

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

y = - 2x² + x - 5 ← is in standard form

with a = - 2, b = 1, c = - 5
