Hi, there--

I see that your third point is (o,7). 

Do you mean the variable o? in this case, infinitely many parabolas are possible.

Do you mean the number 0? In this case, we would have a parabola of the form x = Ay^2 + By + C (a
parabola lying on its side.)

Can you clarify the problem, then I'll be happy to solve it for you.
