Write an equation of the parabola shown.

y = 0.1(x + 5)² + 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a parabola having vertex at (h, k) is given by,

y = a(x - h)² + k

From the given graph, vertex of the parabola is (-5, 1.5)

Therefore, equation of the parabola will be,

y = a(x + 5)² + 1.5

Since, this parabola passes through a point (0, 4)

4 = a(0 + 5)² + 1.5

4 = 25a + 1.5

25a = 2.5

a = 0.1

By substituting the value of 'a' in the equation of the parabola,

y = 0.1(x + 5)² + 1.5
