Answer:

y = -0.6x^2 + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the equation of a linear line that passes through the points (0,6) and (3, 15.6) in the slope intercept form, y = mx + b. We know that the line has a y-intercept of 6, so b = 6. Substitute 3 for x, 15.6 for y, and 6 for b to find m.

y = mx + b

15.6 = 3m + 6

9.6 = 3m

m = 3.2

y = 3.2x + 6

y = a(x - 0)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

y = a(x)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

Finally, substitute 10 for x and -4 for y in the equation above to find a.

-4 = a(10)(10 - 3) + 3.2*10 + 6

-4 = a(10)(7) + 32 + 6

-4 = 70a + 38

-42 = 70a

a = -0.6

Simplify to write in standard form.

y = -0.6(x)(x - 3) + 3.2x + 6

y = -0.6x^2 + 5x + 6
