5x^2-9 when x = -2 5(-2)^2-9

I know the answer is 11, but how? When I did it, I got -29 and I don’t know how to get 11. Could someone explain step by step on how to get the correct answer?

5(-2)² - 9

First, solve the one in the bracket which is -2 × -2 which gives us =4

5(4) - 9

Then, multiply 5 with 4 so

20 - 9

Then you'll get 11

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
