- Find its equation in vertex form y=a(x−h)2+k�=�(�−ℎ)2+�
- Find its equation in standard form y=ax2+bx+c
Using the vertex of (2,3) and plugging that in as (h,k) into the equation y = a(x - h)2 + k
You get y = a(x - 2)2 + 3
Then pick another point you know, so let's grab x=0, y=1 and plug that into the above
You get 1 = a(0 - 2)2 + 3 and solve for a
a = -2 / (0 - 2)2 = -1/2
so: y = -(1 / 2) (x - 2)2 + 3 or if you expand the square
y = -(1 / 2) (x2 - 4x +4) + 3
y = -½·x2+2·x+1
