Question 321287: what is the y intercept of y= -2(x-3)^2 +4
when I calculated: y= -2(0-3)^2 +4
y= -2(-3)^2 +4
y= -2(9) +4
y= -18+4
y= -14
but when i use my graphing calculator i get y=-5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your calculated answer is correct!
I get y = -14 both ways so I would double check your calculator entry if I were you.
