The equation of parabola becomes y = -2/25(x-3)^2 + 4.
According to the statement
we have given a graph and from this graph we have to find the equation of parabola in the general form.
So,
we know that the equation of parabola in general form is
y = a(x-h)^2 +k - (1)
From the graph we have:
a point on the graph is (x,y) = (-2,2)
the vertex of the graph is (h,k) = (3,4)
Now, substitute these values in the equation number (1)
Then
y = a(x-h)^2 +k
2 = a(-2-3)^2 +4
2 = a(-5)^2 +4
2 = a(25) +4
25a = -2
a = -2/25.
Now put a = -2/25 and (h,k) = (3,4) in the equation(1).
Then
the equation of parabola becomes y = -2/25(x-3)^2 + 4
So, The equation of parabola becomes y = -2/25(x-3)^2 + 4.
