PLS HELP ! 100 POINTS Select the correct answer. This graph represents a quadratic function. What is the value of a in the function’s equation?

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a quadratic is

y = a(x-h) ^2 +k  where ( h,k) is the vertex

the vertex is (-2,2)

y = a(x- -2) ^2 +2

y = a(x+2) ^2 +2

Pick another point on the graph to determine a

(-1,5) and substitute into the equation

5 = a( -1+2) ^2 +2

5 = a(1)^2 +2

5 = a(1) +2

Subtract 2 from each side

5-2 = a+2-2

3 = a

3, nah jk it's 2

step-by-step explanation:

it is 3 cause i'm sanic

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
