Question

Suppose a parabola has vertex (–4, 7) and also passes through the point (–3, 8). Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

Answer 1

y=(x+4)squared +7
and plug in

Answer 2

plug in the (-4,7) and (-3,8) and that is your answer?

Answer 3

the vertex form is
\[y=a(x-h)^{2}+k\]
so by plugging it in you should get a, and then you would have all the constants.
