To Find :
The equation of the quadratic whose Vertex is at ( −4,−5) and passes through the point (−3, −7).
Solution :
A quadratic equation in vertex form is given by :
[tex]y = a(x-h)^2 + k[/tex]
( Here, h, k is the vertex )
y = a(x-(-4))² + (-5)
y = a(x+4)² - 5
Now, putting (-3,-7) in above equation:
-7 = a( -3 + 4 )² - 5
a(1)² = -2
a = -2
Therefore, the equation of the quadratic is y = -2(x+4)² - 5 .
