suppose a parabola has vertex(-4,7) and also passes through the point (-3,8). What is the equation of the parabola in vertex form?
possible answers are in photo.
Solution
vertex(-4,7) and also passes through the point (-3,8)
y = a(x- h)^2 + k
y = a(x +4)^2 + 7
passes through ( -3 , 8) : 8 = a(-3 +4)^2 +7
8 = a*1 +7
a = 1
y = (x +4)^2 + 7
Option 1
