Determine the quadratic function with the given information.
Given: vertex (3,-7) and y-intercept of -4
Answer in the form y=a(x-h)^2+k

------ Vertex form of parabolic equation
A y-intercept of - 4 signifies coordinate point, (0, - 4)
------ Substituting all given values in vertex form of paraoblic equation to determine the value of "a"

9a = - 4 + 7
9a = 3
a = , or
-------- Vertex form of parabolic equation, based on given info
