Take the coordinates of the three points given and make 3 equations. Here's the one for the vertex: \[-3=(-9)^{2}a-9b+c\]

FINALLY someone... but i dont get it :/

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

\[y=ax ^{2}+bx+c\] Each of the points (the vertex and the two x-intercepts) give you 3 points (-9,-3) (-10,0) and (-8,0). Use each of the (x,y) points to produce 3 equations, then solve them for a, b, and c.
