Question 37 • Algebra II

Which equation represents a graph with a vertex at open paren 1 comma negative 6 close paren ?

Answer
A
y is equal to 3 x squared plus 6 x minus 3
B
y is equal to 3 x squared minus 6 x minus 3
C
y is equal to 3 x squared minus 8 x minus 1
D
y is equal to 3 x squared minus 3 x minus 6

Explanation

For a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c, the vertex’s x-coordinate is −b/(2a). In choice D, that is −(−6)/(2·3) = 1; substituting x = 1 gives y = 3 − 6 − 3 = −6, so the vertex is (1, −6).
