Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

Vertex: (−4,6); Point: (−2,−2)

y = - 2(x + 4)² + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k ) = (- 4, 6 ) , thus

y = a(x - (- 4) )² + 6 , that is

y = a(x + 4)² + 6

To find a substitute (- 2, - 2) into the equation

- 2 = a(- 2 + 4)² + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 8 = a(2)² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

- 2 = a , thus

y = - 2(x + 4)² + 6 ← equation in vertex form

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled

answer: h
