You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The general mapping rule for quadratic equations is:
(x,y) = (x+h, ay+k)
.
First, convert your given equation to the
turning point form (usually by completing the square):
y=a%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk
Any quadratic equation can be converted to this form by completing the square.
.
Then use a, h, and k in the general mapping rule.
