Question

Which of the following is the vertex of the quadratic equation y = –4(x + 6)2 + 2?

(6, 2)

(–6, 2)

(6, –2)

(–6, –2)

Answer 1

(-6,2)

Answer 2

The vertex form of the quadratic equation is:
y = a(x - h)^2 + k where (h, k) is the vertex.
Compare y = –4(x + 6)^2 + 2 to the above and identify h and k.
