Once your friend has thought of a number, do the following:
1. Ask him or her to multiply the chosen number by 2.
2.Choose an even number to use yourself. Ask your friend to add this number to the one in his head.
3.Tell him/her to divide the new number by 2.
4.Tell your friend to subtract his original number from the equation.
5."Guess" the number.

The given quadratic describes a parabola that opens upward. Its one absolute extreme is a minimum that is found at x = -3/2. The value of the function there is
(-3/2 +3)(-3/2) -1 = -13/4
The one relative extreme is a minimum at
(-1.5, -3.25).
_____
For the parabola described by ax² +bx +c, the vertex (extreme) is found where
x = -b/(2a)
Here, that is x=-3/(2·1) = -3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:
y - 2 = -3 (x+1)
point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
looking at the above equation
the slope is -3
