the equation for a parabola can also be written in "vertex form":

In this equation, the vertex of the parabola is the point (, ).

if (, )=(, ), than

.........the coefficient of here is
... to find the , set

next, we find

.......since plug both in and solve for

equation will be:

check it on a graph:
