Q. Find the coordinates of the vertex of the following parabola algebraically. Write your answer as an (x,y) point.y=−x2−7Answer:
Identify Vertex Form: The vertex form of a parabola is y=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola. To find the vertex of the parabola y=−x2−7, we need to identify the values of h and k. Since the equation is already in the form y=a(x−h)2+k, with a=−1, h=0, and k=−7, we can directly read off the vertex as (h,k).
Determine Values: The vertex of the parabola y=−x2−7 is (0,−7) because there is no horizontal shift (h=0) and the vertical shift (k) is −7.
