Question

The vertex of this parabola is at (-5, -2). When the x-value is -4, the y-value is 2. What is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation?
A. 1
B. 4
C. -1
D. 5

Answer 1

V(-5;-2)
$f(x)=a(x+5)^2-2$

$x=-4$. $y=2$

$2=a(-4+5)^2-2$
$2=a*1-2$
$2=a-2$
$a=4$

The answer: B
