can someone explain to me how to do this

Astudent draws two parabolas on graph paper. both parabolas cross the x-axis at (–4, 0) and (6, 0). the y-intercept of the first parabola is (0, –12). the y-intercept of the second parabola is (0, –24). what is the positive difference between the a values for the two functions that describe the parabolas? write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth

For the right triangle shown, the lengths of two sides are given. find the third side. leave your answer in simplified, radical form.

Triangle xyz, with vertices x(-2, 0), y(-2, -1), and z(-5, -2), undergoes a transformation to form triangle x′y′z′, with vertices x′(4, -2), y′(4, -3), and z′(1, -4). the type of transformation that triangle xyz undergoes is a . triangle x′y′z′ then undergoes a transformation to form triangle x′y′z′, with vertices x″(4, 2), y″(4, 3), and z″(1, 4). the type of transformation that triangle x′y′z′ undergoes is a .
