equation of the quadratic function is:
if graph passes through each set of points ( , ),( , ),( , ), use them to set up system of equations and calculate  , , and 
....use (,)
 ..........eq.1
....use (,)
 ..........eq.2
....use (,)
 .........eq.3
from eq.1 and eq.2 we have:
 ...........(a}
from eq.2 and eq.3 we have:
go to ...........(a}, substitute
go to ..........eq.2, substitute and
your equation is: 
check points on a graph:
(,),(,),(,)
