Given the vertex: (-5, -3) and a point from the graph: (-4, —5), write the equation of the parabola in Vertex Form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the Quadratic Function

The vertex form of the quadratic function has the following equation:

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola that results when plotting the function, and a is a coefficient different from zero.

The given vertex is (-5,-3), thus:

We need to find the value of a. We use the point (-4,-5):

Solving:

The complete equation of the parabola is:

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
