You are working with a quadratic equation and construct the following table.

a) Vertex is at (-3, -1)

b) y-intercept is at (0,8)

c) x intercept is at (-4,0) and (-2,0)

d) x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the vertex is the lowest or highest part of a parabola meaning all the points are reflected across.  It is the only y value without a matching pair

E.x. -1 and 1, -3 and 3

The only point without a corresponding y value is (-3,-1) therefore the vertex is at (-3,-1)

The y-intercept is where the parabola meets the y axis or the x value is equal to 0, we just have to find when x = 0 to find the y intercept

y intercept: (0,8)

For the x intercept's it is just the reverse, you need to find where the parabola crosses the x axis or when y = 0

x intercept 1:(-4,0)

x intercept 2: (-2,0)

The axis of symmetry is also the x coordinate of the vertex which is 3 so

x = 3

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
