for parabola to open downward.


You can pick any value for a that you want but it must be a negative value.

y-intercept 7
The point (0,7).

but your vertex (h,k) is also still a variable.


You specified only two things. You could pick a specific factor a and vertex (h,k). What if the vertex were also chosen to be the y-intercept?
What if ?

------------just one example that fits.
