To generate points on the parabola for the quadratic equation y = -6x^2 + 3x + 8, you need to substitute different values of x into the equation to find the corresponding y-values. Let's substitute the x-values from the given options one by one and see which point satisfies the equation.
A. (-6,8):
Substituting x = -6 into the equation:
y = -6(-6)^2 + 3(-6) + 8
y = -6(36) - 18 + 8
y = -216 - 18 + 8
y = -226
So, the point (-6, 8) does not satisfy the equation.
B. (-3,323):
Substituting x = -3 into the equation:
y = -6(-3)^2 + 3(-3) + 8
y = -6(9) - 9 + 8
y = -54 - 9 + 8
y = -55
So, the point (-3, 323) does not satisfy the equation.
C. (-3,-55):
Substituting x = -3 into the equation:
y = -6(-3)^2 + 3(-3) + 8
y = -6(9) - 9 + 8
y = -54 - 9 + 8
y = -55
So, the point (-3, -55) satisfies the equation.
D. (-6,206):
Substituting x = -6 into the equation:
y = -6(-6)^2 + 3(-6) + 8
y = -6(36) - 18 + 8
y = -216 - 18 + 8
y = -226
So, the point (-6, 206) does not satisfy the equation.
Therefore, the correct point that can generate the parabola for the quadratic equation is C. (-3, -55).
