Question

can someone check my answer? find the vertex, just not sure about the negatives

Answer 1

correct

Answer 2

usually, to check which value is the x-coordinate of the vertex, just check what value of x will make the bracket zero. in this case it's (-4 + 4)^2 - 33

so x-coordinate = -4

Answer 3

oh, sorry, I never saw the equation was x = y^2 + 8y - 17

it's gonna be a bit different now, I'll post the solution now

Answer 4

the vertex is at (h, k) and the general form is

y=(x -h )^2 + k

but since the parabola x = y^2 + 8y - 17
