Question

The vertex of this parabola at (-5,-2). When the c - value is -4 the y-value is 2 what is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabolas equation. ( to answer gets brainliest )

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex formula of a quadratic equation is:

●y= a(x-h)^2 +k

(h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex

Here: h = -5 and k= -2

y is 2 and x is -4

● 2 = a (-4-(-5))^2 + (-2)

● 2 = a (-4+5)^2 -2

● 2 = a *1^2 -2

● 2 = a -2

● 4 = a
