Can somebody help me with this question:

y = -x(2) - 5
y = x - 5

I need to find the parabolas

by y = -x(2) - 5 I assume you mean -x^2 - 5?

and y = x - 5 isn't a parabola, it's a straight line.

also shouldn't you be working these out yourself?

Asking the forums is pretty much weird.
Review your lessons or have someone teach you.

No it's not.

i think can use simultaneous equations... sub y = x - 5,

so x - 5 = -x^2 - 5

then shift it over

x^2 - x = 0

then solve it

x = 0 or x = -1

i think i am right :)

I hate math so much now, when we did stuff like this I loved it, but now urgh... makes me want to pull my hair out.

You should see the other questions that get asked around here.
