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
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
-15 = a(0+1)² -16
1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16

0 = (x+1)² -16
16 = (x+1)²
±4 = x+1
x = -1 ± 4 = {-5, 3}
Look for what 'y' is when t = 1 and t = 2. Go to the graph, look at 1 on the bottom axis and go up till you find the point, then go all the way to the left to see what the y-value is, in this case it should be 1200. If you do the same with t = 2, you will get 2400. So our two ordered pairs are:
(1, 1200), (2, 2400)
We can find the slope of these two points by plugging them into the slope formula:
For points in the form of (x1, y1), (x2, y2). Plug in what we know:
Subtract:
Divide:
This is the slope, so we can write the equation:
(1, 1200), (2, 2400)
