Answer:
C. x-intercepts (1, 0) and (3, 0); y-intercept -3; vertex (2, 1)
Explanation:
You are given y = -x² +4x -3.
For quadratic y = ax² +bx +c, the sum of the x-intercepts is -b/a, and their product is c/a. Here, that means the sum of the x-intercepts must be -4/(-1) = 4. That eliminates choice A.
The y-intercept is the constant (c), so is -3. That eliminates choice D.
The x-coordinate of the vertex is -b/(2a), which is half the sum of the x-intercepts. Here, that is 4/2 = 2. That eliminates choice B.
The only remaining answer choice is the correct one: choice C.
