PLS HELP THE PICTURE IS DOWN BELOW

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally you would have to figure out the distance of the x- and y-components and use the Pythagorean Theorem; however, because the y-coordinates of both points are the same, you only need the x-coordinates.

You have the first point back 3, and the second point forward 1.

So starting at -3, you move 4 points to get to 1.

((-3 to -2 (1), -2 to -1 (2), -1 to 0 (3), 0 to 1 (4)))

answer: standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

step-by-step explanation:

standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

(2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

distribute to get into standard form

2x^2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0

2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0

a = 2, b= -3, c = -2

a is your answer
