-5x^2 - 20x + 8y + 12 = 0
8y = 5x^2 + 20x - 12 = 0
y = (5/8)x^2 + (20/8)x - (12/8) = 0
y = (5/8)x^2 + (5/2)x - (3/2) = 0
y = (0.625)x^2 + (2.5)x - 1.5 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=0.625, b=2.5, and c=-1.5
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
0.625 2.5 -1.5
