Answer:

a) y = 2(x + 3)² - 7

b) y = -2(x + 4)² + 6

c) y = 3(x - 7)² + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k where

"a" is the vertical stretch

(h, k) is the vertex

(x, y) is any point on the curve

Input (h, k) and (x, y) to solve for "a"

a) (h, k) = (-3, 7) and (x, y) = (-2, -5)

-5 = a(-2 + 3)² - 7

2 = a(1)²

2 = a

y = 2(x + 3)² - 7

b) (h, k) = (1, 3) and (x, y) = (2, 5)

5 = a(2 - 1)² + 3

2 = a(1)²

2 = a

y = 2(x - 1)² + 3

c) (h, k) = (-4, 6) and (x, y) = (-2, -2)

-2 = a(-2 + 4)² + 6

-8 = a(2)²

-8 = 4a

-2 = a

y = -2(x + 4)² + 6

d) (h, k) = (7, 4) and (x, y) = (5, 16)

16 = a(5 - 7)² + 4

12 = a(-2)²

12 = 4a

3 = a

y = 3(x - 7)² + 4

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)
