Determine the equation of the parabola in vertex form that has a vertex of (-2, 3) and passes through (0 , -1 ). Use this equation to determine which points below are on the parabola.

y = - (x + 2)² + 3

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 ) = (- 2, 3), thus

y = a(x + 2)² + 3

To find a substitute (0, - 1) into the equation

- 1 = a(0 + 2)² + 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- 4 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = - 1

y = - (x + 2)² + 3 ← equation in vertex form

all you   do is count how many times you move

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
