Question

ASAP!!!!

how do i write the intercept form equation
y=a(x-p)(x-q)
when i know a=-16
p=-0.12
q=1.12

Answer 1

y = -15x - 3.04

Explanation:

1) First place down what you are given.

Y = a(x - p) (x - q)

2) Then Substitute.

a = -16

p = -0.12

q = 1.12

y = (-16)(x - (-0.12))(x - (1.12)

3) Do order of operations (PEMDAS)

y = (-16)(x + 0.12)(x - 1.12)

Now distribute

y = − 16 x − 1.92 + (x - 1.12)

y = -16x - 1.92 + x - 1.12

y = -16x + x - 1.92 - 1.12

y = -15x - 3.04

4)

You answer is:

y = -15x - 3.04
