Answer:
Here's what I get
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Graph the parabola
(a) Create a table containing a few values of x and y
I chose the following points:
(b) Plot your points
Draw dots at the coordinates of each point ( Fig. 1).
(c) Draw the graph
Draw a smooth line through the points.
Extend your line smoothly to the edge of the plot area (Fig. 2).
2. Label the intercepts and vertex
The x-intercepts are at (-3, 0) and (1, 0).
The y-intercept is at (0, -3).
The vertex is at (-1, -4).
See Fig.3 for the labels.
3. Axis of symmetry
The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the graph into mirror- image halves.
The vertex is at (-1, -4), so the vertex is a straight line passing through (-1, -4) and (-1, 0). It is the dashed black line in Fig. 4
