Question

A parabola with an equation of the form y=ax^2+bx+c has the point (3, 1) as its vertex. If (1, 3) also lies on this parabola, which of the following is another point on the parabola? A. (2, 6) B. (−3, −1) C. (5, 3) D. (2, 2) E. (−1, −3)

Answer 1

(5,3)

Explanation:

I plotted the point (3,1) on desmos graphing caculator and labeled it as the vertex.

Next I plotted the point (1,3).

Then I counted the spaces between point 1,3 and 3,1 as shown in the picture

Finally I graphed the point and connected the lines to make sure it looked like a parabola.
