If the parabola has y = -4 at both x = 2 and x = 3, then since a parabola is symmetric, its axis of symmetry must be between x = 2 and x = 3, or at x = 5/2. Our general equation can then be:
y = a(x - 5/2)^2 + k
Substitute (1, -2): -2 = a(-3/2)^2 + k
-2 = 9a/4 + k
Substitute (2, -4): -4 = a(-1/2)^2 + k
-4 = a/4 + k
Subtracting: 2 = 2a, so a = 1. Substituting back gives k = -17/4.
So the equation is y = (x - 5/2)^2 - 17/4
Expanding: y = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 - 17/4
y = x^2 - 5x + 2 (This is the standard form.)
Slope is rise over run or Y2 - Y1 divided X2 - X1. The X's and Y's are your coordinate points. It doesn't matter which Y you put down first but remember to choose the X in the same place. Your coordinate points are (0, -1) and (-4, 2)
Your equation will be:
-1 - 2 / 0 - (-4)
-3 / 0 + 4
-3 / 4
Your slope is negative 3/4
