Find the equation for the parabola that passes through the point (-2,-4), with vertex at (3,1) and a vertical axis
of symmetry.

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (3, 1), hence

y = a(x - 3)² + 1

To find a substitute (- 2, - 4) into the equation

- 4 = a(- 2 - 3)² + 1

- 4 = 25a + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

25a = - 5 ( divide both sides by 25 )

a = - = -

y = - (x - 3)² + 1 ← in vertex form

step-by-step explanation:

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
