Question 1066833
Start with standard form equation of parabola.
{{{y=a(x-6)^2+2}}}---this uses the vertex information for this equation.



What is the factor, "a"?
{{{a(x-6)^2=y-2}}}
{{{a=(y-2)/(x-6)^2}}}


{{{a=(8-2)/(2-6)^2}}}


{{{a=6/16}}}


{{{a=3/8}}}


Put everything back together.
{{{highlight(y=(3/8)(x-6)^2+2)}}}
