Question

suppose that you are looking at the graph of a parabola. You see the vertex at the point (-3, 10). You see another point at (0, 8). Use the symmetry property of parabolas to give another point on this graph.

Answer 1

Answer: (-6,8)

Step-by-step explanation

To go from the vertex (-3,10) to (0,8), we move in the pattern "3 units right, 2 units down".

Due to symmetry about the vertex, we can start at the vertex to follow the pattern "3 units left, 2 units down" to go from (-3,10) to (-6,8) as another point on the parabola.

Refer to the diagram below.
