<h3>Answer:</h3>
y = -3(x -2)² -5
<h3>Explanation:</h3>The equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k) is given by ...
... y = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . . . for some vertical scale factor "a".
We can find the value of "a" by substituting the coordinates of a point that is not the vertex. Here, that point is the y-intercept: (0, -17).
... y = a(x -2)² -5 . . . . . initial form of the equation for the parabola
... -17 = a(-2)² -5 . . . . . substitute y-intercept values
... -12 = 4a . . . . . . . . . . add 5, simplify
... -12/4 = a = -3
The desired equation is ... y = -3(x -2)² -5.

Step-by-step explanation:
1. So there is two bread options but let's ignore that due every option being the same for both bread options.
2. So if you look there are three meat options meaning there is a one in three chance logical chance someone picks turkey (note when I say logical I mean that doesn't mean that this will be true in real life) and there is a one in two logical chance someone picks Swiss cheese.
3. So with a one in three chance logical meat option and a one two chance cheese option and.
4. Now knowing this it is simple math at this point as simple as x
5. 1 x 1 = 1 and 3 x 2 = 6
6. leading to
