In the box, complete the first 4 steps for graphing the quadratic function given. (use ^ on the keyboard to indicate an exponent.) then print a sheet of graph paper and graph the quadratic function to turn in to your teacher. be sure to label the axes and vertex. y = -x2 - 4x - 3 hep

There are multiple ways that you could graph this quadratic equation.

I would start by finding the vertex. The x-value in the vertex is found with -b/2a. The take you value and input back into the equation to find the y-value of your vertex.

Then, you could make a list of points on both sides of the vertex to create a table with which to create the parabola.

Where is the diagram?
