On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up with solid circles along the parabola at (negative 6, 5), (negative 5, 0), (negative 4, negative 3), (negative 3, negative 4), (negative 2, negative 3), (negative 1, 0), (0, 5). What is the vertex of the parabola in the graph? ( , )

.

step-by-step explanation:

.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
