the vertex is at (-2, -3) and the axis of symmetry would be at x=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain how you got that hun?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation is written in y=(x-h)^2+k form. where h,k is the vertex.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay i seeeee!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help with more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 3(x + 2)2 – 3. (2 would be -2, and that is x, and -3 would be y. )so it's (-2, -3) for the vertex. and the only axis of symmetric is vertical.

Does that help?

yes, could you help with more?
