Introductory Message!

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics Grade 9 Self-Learning Module on Determining

the equation of a Quadratic Function given its Graph.

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the self-learning module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this self-
learning module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and
assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the self-learning module.
 For the learner:

 LESSON

Determine the equation of the quadratic function given by the graph by following the
steps below.
Study the graph of the quadratic function below.

1. What is the opening of the graph? What does it imply regarding the value of
a?
2. Identify the coordinates of the vertex.
3. Identify the coordinates of any point on the parabola.
4. In the form of quadratic function y = a(x - h)2 + k, substitute the coordinates
of the points you have taken in the variables x and y and the x-coordinates
and y-coordinate of the vertex in place of h and k, respectively.
5. Solve for the value of a.
6. Get the equation of a quadratic in the form y = a(x - h)2 + k by substituting the
obtained value of a and the x and the y coordinates of the vertex in h and k
respectively.
When the vertex and any point on the parabola are clearly seen, the equation of the
quadratic function can be easily determined by using the form of a quadratic function
y= a(x-h)2+k.

Example 1.
The vertex of the graph of the quadratic function is (2,3). The graph passes through
the point (5,0). By replacing x and y with 5 and 0, respectively, and h and k with 2
and -3, respectively we have
y = a(x - h)2 + k
0 = a (5 - 2)2 + (-3)
0 = a (3)2- 3
3=9
1
A= 3
1 1 4 5
Thus, the quadratic equation is y = 3 (𝑥 − 2)2 − 3 or y = 3 𝑥 2 − 3 𝑥 − 3 .

Example 2.

Let us first identify the vertex of this graph. The vertex is (-1,1) and the graph passes
through the point (0,-1).By replacing x any with o and 1 respectively, and with ( h,k
) with -1 and 1, we have
−1 = 𝑎(0 − (−1))2+1
-1 = 1a+1
-1-1= 1a
-2 = a
Thus the equation is y = -2(x + 1)2 + 1.
 ACTIVITIES
Activity 1. Let’s Practice
Write True if the statement is true, False if otherwise.
________1. Vertex is not needed in graphing a quadratic function.
________2. We use the form of quadratic function y = a(x - h)2 + k when we
substitute the coordinates and vertex.
________3. We can solve for the value of a when we substitute the coordinates and
vertex in the quadratic function y = a(x - h)2 + k.
________4. The graph of y = x2 goes through the point (0,0)
________5. The graph of y = -x2 goes through the point (0, -1)
