The vertex-form equation is
y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
-15 = a(0+1)² -16
1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16
Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
0 = (x+1)² -16
16 = (x+1)²
±4 = x+1
x = -1 ± 4 = {-5, 3}
y = a(x+1)² -16

We have been given that Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Also, she donates $2 to clean water projects per tax return she files.
Further we know that Sterre charged $7,245 and made a donation of $1,242 this year for the tax returns she filed.
Let x be the number of free income tax returns and y be the number of $35 income tax returns.
Therefore, we can set up:
Since she donates $2 for each return that she files, therefore, we can set up:
Therefore,
Sterre filed 414 tax returns for free and filed 207 tax returns for $35.
