Grade 9 Math Worksheet
Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.
Ren graphs a soup bowl, y = (x + 1)(x - 5). What is the vertex? Type its x-value, then its y-value, with a comma between.
Tala graphs a swing path, y = 2(x - 1)(x - 7). What is the vertex? Type its x-value, then its y-value, with a comma between.
Zee graphs a fountain's arc, y = -(x + 4)(x - 2) (no splashing the graph). What is the vertex? Type its x-value, then its y-value, with a comma between.
Ari graphs a scooter ramp, y = 3(x + 6)(x + 2). What is the vertex? Type its x-value, then its y-value, with a comma between.
