Question

What is the equation in vertex form of the quadratic function with a vertex at (-1,-4) that goes through (1,8)?​

Answer 1

G

Explanation:

vertex formula = a(x-h)^2 + k

vertex is (h, k) so (-1, -4) means

y = a(x+1)^2-4

passes through (1, 8) so when x = 1 and y = 8

8 = a(1+1)^2-4 = 4a - 4

4a = 4

a = 1
