Question

9. Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

Vertex: (-4, 6); Point: (-2, -2)

Answer 1

Answer: y = − 2 ( x + 4 ) 2 + 6

Explanation:

Find the parabola through ( − 2 , − 2 ) with vertex ( − 4 , 6 ) using the vertex form y = a ( x − h ) 2 + k .

Standard Form: y = − 2 x 2 − 16 x − 26

Vertex Form: y = − 2 ( x + 4 ) 2 + 6
