Question

What is the equation of the parabola with the vertex of (1,-8) that passes through (2,-6)

Answer 1

Hello!

What is the standard form of the parabola:

`\hookrightarrow y=(x-h)^2+k`

• (h,k): vertex's coordinate

=> h: x-coordinate of vertex

=> k: y-coordinate of vertex

Since our vertex is (1,-8)

`\hookrightarrow \text{Our equation is }y=(x-1)^2}-8` <== Answer

Hope that helps!
