SOLUTION: Trying to graph the parabola y=-3(x+7)^2-8 and get vertex of (-7, -8) with another point of (0, -155) which seems odd. Is this correct? In order to graph, should I try x=somethin

Question 712913: Trying to graph the parabola y=-3(x+7)^2-8 and get vertex of (-7, -8) with another point of (0, -155) which seems odd. Is this correct? In order to graph, should I try x=something other than "0"??
Thanks

y=-3(x+7)^2-8
y=-3(x^2+14x+49)-8
y=--3x^2-42x-147-8
y=-3x^2-42x-155
