The vertex of a parabola is (-1.5, - 12.5), and its y-intercept is (0, - 8). the x-intercepts of the parabola are - 2,0 - 4,0 2,0 4,0 and - 1,0 2,0 1,0 - 2,0

Hello,

y=k (x+3/2) ²-25/2

and - 8=k*9/4-25/2==>9/4k=9/2==>k=9/2*4/9=2

y=2 (x+3/2) ²-25/2

x - intercepts:

y=0=2 (x+3*2) ²-25/2

==> (x+3/2) ²=25/4

==>x=-3/2-5/2 or x=-3/2+5/2

==>x=-4 or x=1

(-4,0) and (1,0) are x intercepts
