SOLUTION: Use the vertex (h, k) and a point on the graph (x, y) to find the general form of the equation of the quadratic function. (h, k) = (−3, −1), (x, y) = (−5, 3) * can some

Question 1136384: Use the vertex (h, k) and a point on the graph (x, y) to find the general form of the equation of the quadratic function.
(h, k) = (−3, −1), (x, y) = (−5, 3)
* can someone help? So far I’ve gotten 1/4(x+3)^2-1, but it is incorrect. I’ve plugged the given numbers into their respective places in the formula, y=a(x-h)^2+k, but am lost where I’m going wrong. Thank you.
