Question

the vertex of this parabola is at 4, -3, x-value is 5 and y-value at -6 what is the coefficient of the squared expression

Answer 1

hello:
an equation is : f(x) = a(x-4)² - 3
the point (5 , -6)in parabola : --6 = a(5-4)² --3
-6 =a -3
a =-3 is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola equation
