Answer:
y = - 2(x - 3)² + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
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
here (h, k ) = (3, 4 ) , then
y = a(x - 3)² + 4
to find a substitute (1, - 4 ) into the equation
- 4 = a(1 - 3)² + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
- 8 = a(- 2)² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )
- 2 = a
y = - 2(x - 3)² + 4 ← equation in vertex form
