Answer:

  (b)  y=(x+1)²−9

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the vertex form equation of the graphed parabola, which opens upward and has its vertex at (-1, -9).

Vertex form

The vertex form equation for a parabola with vertex (h, k) is ...

  y = (x -h)² +k

The vertex of the parabola shown is (h, k) = (-1, -9). Using these values in the equation gives ...

  y = (x +1)² -9

Additional comment

The equation may include a scale factor that multiplies the square. Here, the curve rises 1 unit for 1 unit either side of the vertex, so the scale factor is 1. (The rise at ±1 from the vertex is the scale factor.)

Steps: (1) read the vertex coordinates from the graph; (2) put those coordinates in the vertex form equation; (3) check to see that the vertical scale factor is 1.
