Answer:
y = - 12(x + 3)² + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k ) = (- 3, 7 ), thus
y = a(x - (- 3))² + 7 , that is
y = a(x + 3)² + 7
To find a substitute (- 2, - 5) into the equation
- 5 = a(- 2 + 3)² + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
- 12 = a(1)² = a
y = - 12(x + 3)² + 7 ← equation in vertex form
