SOLUTION: Write the vertex form equation for the parabola opens left or right; vertex:(7,0); passes through(6,-1)

Question 848246: Write the vertex form equation for the parabola
opens left or right; vertex:(7,0); passes through(6,-1)
Answer by josgarithmetic(39620) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Thinking about the given points and what they are, this parabola opens to the left. The form of the equation can be shown as , with vertex (h,k) and .

According to the standard form and knowing the vertex, the equation progresses to , which is .

Can you take this solution the rest of the way, yourself?
