Question 609971: Please help with this. "write the equation of the parabola in vertex form. V-Vertex, P-Point."
V(-2,4);P(3,-1)
Thank you so much!! Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
Using the vertex form of a parabola, where(h,k) is the vertex
V(-2,4);P(3,-1)
x = a(y-4)^2 -2
3 = a(-5)^2 -2
5/25 = a
1/5 = a ,this is the Vertex form for parabola opening right and or left ( in this case >0, opens right.
