Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows a parabola that opens downward with a plotted point. Both axes range from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 2.

What is the vertex form of the graphed equation?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The vertex form of a parabolic equation is y = a(x-h)^2 + k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Looking at the graph, we see that the vertex is located at the point (-2, -3).

Therefore, the vertex form of the graphed equation is y = a(x+2)^2 - 3.
