- Previous question Consider the function y = 3x - 60x + 110. (a) Find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the graph. (b) Set the viewing window so that the x-coordinate of the vertex is near the center of the window and the vertex is visible, and then graph the given equation. (c) State the coordinates of the vertex. (a) The x-coordinate of the vertex of the graph is x=| (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) (b) Choose the correct graph below. Note the window given below each graph. OA. OB. OC.
