Question
The coordinate plane spans from -5 to 5 on both the x and y-axes, with a single unit interval between grid lines.
#### Task:
Given the graph, write an equation for the quadratic function in any form (standard form, vertex form, or factored form) in the box provided below the graph.
**Standard Form (y = ax² + bx + c):**
To find the values of a, b, and c, you will need to use the points provided or derived from the graph.
**Vertex Form (y = a(x - h)² + k):**
The vertex form can be particularly useful if you can easily identify the vertex (h, k) from the graph.
**Factored Form (y = a(x - r₁)(x - r₂)):**
If the x-intercepts are clear, the factored form may be easily utilized.

Transcribed Image Text:### Writing an Equation for a Quadratic Graph
This activity involves writing an equation in any form for the quadratic function graphed below.
#### Graph Description:
The graph displays a parabolic curve (a parabola) which opens downwards. Here are some key features to observe:
- **Vertex of the Parabola**: The highest point of the parabola appears to be at point (2, 3).
- **X-Intercepts**: The parabola crosses the x-axis at approximately \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 3 \).
- **Y-Intercept**: The parabola crosses the y-axis at approximately \( y = -1 \).
The coordinate plane spans from -5 to 5 on both the x and y-axes, with a single unit interval between grid lines.
