Step One
Use the vertex to determine the basic equation for the parabola.

y = a(x - 2)^2 + 7 Notice the sign change for x. I have provided a graph to show how this would look with a = 1 (in red.)

What it means is the  2 has to be minus in order that the vertex will shift 2 units in the x direction.

Step Two
Use the point to solve for a.
y = a(x - 2)^2 + 7
When x = - 1
Then y = 3

3 = a(-1 - 2)^2 + 7                combine -1 with - 2
3 = a (-3)^2 + 7
3 = 9a + 7                            Subtract 7 from both sides
3 - 7 = 9a
-4 = 9a                                 Divide by 9.
a = -4/9 
or                                
a = - 0.4444

y = -0.4444(x + 2)^2 + 7 <<<<< answer
y = - 4/9 (x + 2)^2 + 7

Note: if you have choices, list them please.

Note: The red graph is y = (x - 2)^2 + 7 ; a = 1
The blue graph is y = - 4/9(x - 2)^2 + 7 ; a = - 0.44444

You should notice that the a does 3 things to the graph. Before you read the answer, what are those three things? The answer is in the comments.

Which equation is represented by the table
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

B. b = 3a + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation in slope-intercept form as b = ma + c, where,

m = slope/rate of change

c = y-intercept/initial value

✔️Find m using any two given pair of values, say (2, 8) and (4, 14):

Rate of change (m) = change in b/change in a

m = (14 - 8)/(4 - 2)

m = 6/2

m = 3

✔️Find c by substituting (a, b) = (2, 8) and m = 3 into b = ma + c. Thus:

8 = 3(2) + c

8 = 6 + c

8 - 6 = c

2 = c

c = 2

✔️Write the equation by substituting m = 3 and c = 2 into b = ma + c. Thus:

b = 3a + 2
