Answer:
y = -(x -3)^2 +2
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
where the vertex is (h, k) and the value 'a' is a vertical scale factor.
The value of 'a' can be found by looking at the y-value of points ±1 either side of the vertex relative to the vertex. Here, the vertex y-value is +2 at x=3, and either side goes down 1 unit (to y=1) for 1 unit to the right or left. So, a = -1.
Using the values we've read from the graph for the vertex (h, k) = (3, 2) and the scale factor a = -1, we can write the equation as ...
y = -(x -3)^2 +2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph you see there is called a parabola. The general equation for the graph is as below
To find the equation we need to find the constants a and b. The constant b is just how much we're lifting the parabola by. Notice it's lifted by 1 on the y axis.
To find a it's a little more tricky. Let's use the graph to find a value for a by plugging in values we know. We know that b is 1 from the previous step, and we know that when x=1, y=3. Let's use that!
Awesome, we've found both values. And we can write the result.
I'll include a plotted graph with our equation just so you can verify it is indeed the same.
Answer:
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(y+1)/(x-8) = (-1+1)/(-2-8)
(y+1)/(x-8) = 0
y+1 =0
y= -1
