Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. Esme's rainbow design on graph paper passes through (3, 20). Its rule is y = ax² + bx + c. Which equation in a, b and c does that point give?

    • 9a + 3b + c = 20
    • 3a + 9b + c = 20
    • 6a + 3b + c = 20
    • 400a + 20b + c = 3
  2. Jun's kite path passes through (-3, 12). The path is y = ax² + bx + c. Which equation in a, b and c does that point give?

    • -9a − 3b + c = 12
    • -3a + 9b + c = 12
    • 9a − 3b + c = 12
    • -6a − 3b + c = 12
  3. Luz draws a skate ramp through (4, -5) on a grid. The ramp is y = ax² + bx + c. Which equation in a, b and c does that point give?

    • 4a + 16b + c = -5
    • 8a + 4b + c = -5
    • 16a + 4b + c = -5
    • 25a − 5b + c = 4
  4. Milo's bowl design passes through (-5, 30). The design is y = ax² + bx + c. Which equation in a, b and c does that point give?

    • 25a − 5b + c = 30
    • -25a − 5b + c = 30
    • -5a + 25b + c = 30
    • -10a − 5b + c = 30

  6. Noah records three points of a kite's path in the table. The path is y = ax² + bx + c. What is a?

  7. Pia's rainbow drawing goes through the points in the table. The rule is y = ax² + bx + c. What is a?

  8. Ren plots a bowl design from the table. The rule is y = ax² + bx + c. What is a?

  9. Esme copies three points of a design into the table. The rule is y = ax² + bx + c. What is b?

  10. Luz records three points of a kite's path in the table. The path is y = ax² + bx + c. What is b?

  11. Milo's rainbow drawing goes through the points in the table. The rule is y = ax² + bx + c. What is b?

About this worksheet

Write a quadratic function from three points. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can turn a point into an equation in a, b and c.
  • I can find a, b and c from three rows of a table.
  • I can write y = ax² + bx + c through three points and use it to predict a new row.

Standard: F-BF.A.1a

Words to know

row: One input and its output, like the point (2, 7).

mirror rows: Two rows the same distance either side of the vertex, with equal outputs.

second difference: How much the steps between outputs change; for rows 1 apart it is 2a.

eliminate: Add or subtract two equations so one letter cancels.

Common mistakes

Your child matched a with x and b with x².

Your child doubled x instead of squaring it.

Your child made the square of a negative number negative.

What to say

Ask: in y = ax² + bx + c, which letter sits next to x²?

Ask: is 3² the same as 2 × 3?

Ask: what is (-3) × (-3)?

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with write a quadratic function from three points?

How can I help my child with write a quadratic function from three points?

Ask: in y = ax² + bx + c, which letter sits next to x²?
