All quadratic functions are in the formor for convenience, let's write for where the vertex is ( , ). So since the vertex is ( , ), we plug those in Now all we need is So we substitute ( , ) = ( , ). So becomes or in functional notation. To draw the graph, plot the given vertex and the given point, and find some more points, say: (-7,-5), (-4,1), (5,-5) Now draw in the graph of the function: Edwin
