Answer:   \bold{\dfrac{1}{49}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

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

  • "a" is the coefficient
  • (h, k) is the vertex

Since the given information is (h, k) = (-3, -1)  and (x, y) = (4, 0), we can input those values into the vertex form and solve for "a":

0 = a[4 - (-3)]² + (-1)

0 = a(4 + 3)² - 1

0 = a(49) - 1

1 = 49a

\dfrac{1}{49}=a

Answer:

S(-3, -1)

P(4, 0)

a = (Py - Sy) / (Px - Sx)^2

a = (0 - (-1)) / (4 - (-3))^2

a = 1 / 7^2

<u>a = 1 / 49</u>
