Answer:


y = x^2 + x - 6

Explanation:

Hello!

We can utilize the factored form of a parabola to find a possible equation.

Factored Form:
y = a(x - h)(x - k)

  • h and k are roots

Since the roots of the parabola are given, we can plug in the roots for h and k, and plug in 1 for a and multiply to find the equation.

Find the Equation


  • y = a(x - h)(x - k)

  • y = 1(x - 2)(x +3)

  • y = 1(x^2 + x - 6)

  • y = x^2 + x - 6

One possible equation is
y = x^2 + x - 6.
