You don't have the graph icon here, so we'll have to graph this parabola without it.
Your parabola is y = -x^2 + 3., which resembles y = a(x-h)^2 + k. We can tell immediately that this parabola opens down and that the vertex is (0,3).
Plot (0,3). Besides being the vertex, this point is also the max. of the function.
Now calculate four more points. Choose four arbitrary x-values, such as {-2, 1, 4, 5} and find the y value for each one. Plot the resulting four points. Draw a smooth curve thru them, remembering (again) that the vertex is at (0,3) and that the parabola opens down.
 
        
             
        
        
        
It appears as if 12cm is half the length of the side so we can assume that the total length of one side is 24cm.
The area of a square is given by the equation  where s is the length of the side.
 where s is the length of the side.  

A=576
The area of this square is 576cm2.
Hope this helps!
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
graph this equation
y = -2/3x 7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y-5=-2/3(x--4)
y-5 = -2/3x - 8/3
y = -2/3x 7/3
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the average rate of change by using the formula
rate of change = (y2-y1) /(x2-x1)
                          = (5-3)/(1-0)
                          = 2/1
