Answer:

y = - (x + 1)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form of a parabola is given by,

y = -(x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the ordered pair representing vertex.

(-) sign denotes that the parabola is opening downwards.

If the coordinates of the given parabola is (-1, 0)

Equation of the parabola will be,

y = - (x + 1)² + 0

y = - (x + 1)²

Therefore, equation of the parabola will be, y = - (x + 1)²

My answer is 8 5/9
First, you have to multiply the denominators to get your least common denominator.
Second, you have to multiply the numerators and the denominators together to get two different fractions with the same denominator. You should get 9 3/9 and 1 6/9.

Your answer should be 8 5/9
