Question 975090: Find an equation of the parabola that has the indicated vertex and whose graph passes through the given point vertex (5, 12) point (7, 15) Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = a(x-h)2+k
y= a(x-5)^2 +12
Find a by using the point
15=a(7-5)^2 +12
15=4a+12
a=(3/4)
y=(3/4)(x-5)^2 +12
y=(3/4)x^2-7.5x+30.75
