Question

The vertex of this parabola is at (-3, -2). Which of the following could be its equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = a(x + 3)² - 2 where a is any real number except 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola:

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

(h, k) - vertex

We have the vertex at (-3, -2) → h = -3 and k = -2.

Substitute:

$y=a(x-(-3))^2+(-2)=a(x+3)^2-2$

Answer 2

Answer:

y= -2(x+3)²-2 ~apex uwu
