The general form is:

The vertex is at ( -2,-8 )
The formula for the x-intercept of the vertex is:




-----------
So far I have

Plug in the vertex point ( -2,-8 )




Now I have

Plug in ( 0,4 )




------------



-----------------------
Use the quadratic formula













and



-------------------
The x-intercepts are at -.367007 and -3.63299
check:
Is the y-intercept at ( 0,4 ) ?


OK
Does it go through ( -2,-8 ) ?





OK
Here's the plot:
