finding coordinates

[sick notch]

Hoe do u find the other coordinates???

And also what does the a=9 imply about the graph

Plot it and find out is what I would say you should notice that its kind of stretched version of y=1/x^2

To find the coordinates when theyre both integers think carefully about what x ^2 must be

Ie a factor

[sick notch]

1?

9?

Wait no

[dire fern]

X^2 must be = 1 or 9 yh

[sick notch]

Idk

Ohh

[dire fern]

So what does that make x

[sick notch]

1 and 3

[dire fern]

Only them?

[sick notch]

Wait why is that the answers

And -1

And -3

[dire fern]

Well u said a=9

So in order for both y and x to be integers x^2 must be a factor of 9

Since x must be also integer we figure out x^2 must be 1 or 9

And they have 2 solutions each a positive and negative

Use the x to find a corresponding y and thats it
