Make your choice; for either vertical symmetry axis or horizontal symmetry axis.

I am choosing vertical axis of symmetry. Think about the two given points, and you understand that coefficient , which goes on the leading term.

Standard Form format, , and (h,k) and another point on the graph are given.

, using vertex given
, when the other included point is used, and partial simplification

One possible equation from that is .
