Axis of symmetry at x=-7, meaning that the x value of the vertex is at x=-7
means that it is a function
max height is 4
means that the  y value of the vertex is 4
passes through the point (-6,0) or one point is x=-6, y=0

in the form
y=a(x-h)^2+k
(h,k) is vertex

we know that vertex is at (-7,4)
y=a(x-(-7))^2+4
y=a(x+7)^2+4
find a by plugging in the point (-6,0) aka subsitutin -6 for x and 0 for y
0=a(-6+7)^2+4
0=a(1)^2+4
0=a+4
-4=a

therefor the equation is
y=-4(x+7)^2+4

The vertex form of a quadratic equation:
y = a(x - h)^2+ k

Axis of symmetry is said to be x=-7. This means that the x value of the vertex is at x=-7. The maximum height is 4 thus the y value of the vertex is 4.

in the form
y=a(x-h)^2+k
(h,k) represents the vertex

Thus, the equation becomes,
y=a(x-(-7))^2+4
y=a(x+7)^2+4

We obtain a by substituting <span> the point (-6,0) for x and y in the equation.</span>
0=a(-6+7)^2+4
0=a(1)^2+4
0=a+4
a = -4

Therefore, the equation in vertex form is:
y=-4(x+7)^2+4

Answer:

C. 57°

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles have a sum of 180°.

m∠D + m∠E + m∠F = 180°

35° + m∠E + 88° = 180°

123° + m∠E = 180°

m∠E = 57°
