Hmmm the y-intercept is at -2? what does that mean? well, is where the graph "intercepts" or touches the y-axis, and when that happens, x = 0, so the point is really ( 0 , -2 ).
and we know where the vertex is at. Let's assume a vertical parabola, in which case the squared variable is the "x".
Constant of proportionality is 4
equation: x/y = 4
explanation:
let's take 20 and 5 for example, if you divide 20 by 5, you will 4 of course. that's the proportionality for the first one. if you continue to divide x value by y value you will get 4. for the last two you would divide 28 by 4 and multiply 8 by 4.
It has no real solutions. that's why
The answer is (3x + 5) ^2
