On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 8, negative 2), has a vertex at (negative 5, negative 6.5), goes through (negative 2, negative 2), and has a y-intercept at (0, 6). Over which interval is the graph of f(x) = one-halfx2 + 5x + 6 increasing?

1. minimum

2. 6400

3. eight

hope this !

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
