Question 791826: I need your to put this in equation form y=a(x-h)^2
(-1, -4) (7,-4)

The equation indicates standard form and the vertex is on the x-axis. Knowing this is because "k" is zero. We can find "h" easily because the two given points have the same y value, so the vertex is directly in the middle.

this means .
The vertex is (3,0).

Use either of the given points to find "a".
