Answer:
y = 2.5(x + 2)^2 - 3
The answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for the vertex is
y = a (x + b)^2 + c
a we are not certain about
b = 2
c = - 3
y = a(x + 2)^2 - 3 Now we have to solve for a.
a is found by using the one point we know (0,7) It means when x = 0 y = 7 so just put those two numbers in.
7 = a(0 - 2)^2 - 3
7 = a (- 2)^2 - 3 Add 3 to both sides.
7 + 3 = a(4) Combine 7 and 3
10 = 4a Divide by 4
10/4 = a Do the actual division
2.5 = a
Answer: See above
