On your TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator:

Press STAT
Press ENTER
Enter 4,5,6,7,8,9 in L1 and 3,8,14,27,51,63 in L2.

Press 2ND STAT
Highlight CALC
Scroll down to QuadReg
Press ENTER several times until you see

y=a2+bx+c
a=1.910714286
b=-12.21071429
c=20.73571429
R2=.983826542

One of your answers has these coefficients a,b, and c
rounded off to 2 decimal places.
