What is the parabola in vertex form that has a vertex of (-2,6) and passes through the point (0,12)?
***
Given coordinates show that parabola opens upwards
Its vertex form of equation: y=A(x-h)^2+k, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the vertex
Solving for A:
12=A(0-(-2))^2+6
12=4A+6
4A=6
A=6/4=3/2
Equation:
y=(3/2)(x+2)^2+6
