the vertex form equation for a parabola
-- parabola
-- parabola

for parabola:
If , the parabola opens
if , it opens

for parabola:
If , the parabola opens
if , it opens


in your case we have:

... parabola...,so and the vertex is is (-2,3) and it opens

. .. parabola..., so , the vertex is is (3,-2) and it opens

.. parabola..., the vertex is is (-2,3) and it opens

.. parabola..., the vertex is is (3,-2) and it opens
