Complete the square to put () in vertex form. () = 3
2 + 30 − 12. What is the vertex?

A and A

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where ( h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

y = - 2(x + 3)² + 2  is in this form

with vertex = ( - 3, 2)

To find the y-intercept let x = 0

y = - 2(3)² + 2 = - 18 + 2 = - 16

Similarly

y = - 2(x + 2)² + 2 is in vertex form

vertex = ( - 2 , 2)

x = 0 : y = - 2(2)² + 2 = - 8 + 2 = - 6 ← y- intercept

hope this helped

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
