Slope Formula: 
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- x₁ - x coordinate
- y₁ - y coordinate
- m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(8) = -1 → Coordinate (8, -1)
f(6) = 0 → Coordinate (6, 0)
<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Substitute [SF]:

- Add/Subtract:

- Simplify:

<u>Step 3: Write Function</u>
<em>Substitute into general form.</em>
- Point 1: y + 1 = -1/2(x - 8)
- Point 2: y = -1/2(x - 6)
First of all, find a program or a calculator that will give you the answer. Then you'll know how to make your table. I recommend Desmos. I have inserted the final graph for you.
Make up a table for this graph. Put the lowest point as the central entry in your graph.
x y
-4
-3
-2
-1
0
Now fill in the y values.
x y
-4 1
-3 -3.5
-2 -5
-1 -3.5
0 1
You can use the outline of the parabola and then mark the outline with the points in the table.

t=(49±√833)/19.6
t≈1.027, 3.97
1.027<t<3.97
