Question 77745: Given a quadratic equation y = ax2 + bx + c, what is the effect of changing the value of the number c on the parabola? In other word, if two parabolas have the same coefficients a, and b, but different values for c, how will they differ? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "c" raises or lowers the curve
If c is positive it raises the y-values so raises the curve.
If c is negative it lowers the y-values so lowers the curve.
