How do you identify the vertex for #( x + 3) ^ { 2} = - 8( y - 2)#?

1 Answer

Vertex = #(-3, 2)#

Explanation:

The vertex is identified from this formula.

#a(x - x_1)^2# = #(y - y_1)#

Whatever what x_1 equals to is the #x#-coordinate of the vertex. Whatever what #y_1# is the #y#-coordinate of the vertex.

In our case,

#x_1# = -3 and #y_1# = 2
