Standard Form, has vertex (h,k). You are given the vertex and you can solve for the value of a using the other given point.

No, no, no!! The vertex form of a parabola is the equation: . In this case, (h, k) = (7, 2), and (x, y) = (6, 0). 

You substituted (x, y) for (h, k). That's incorrect! Try again!
