The vertex form of a parabola is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=a%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk\"
\n" ); document.write( "where (h,k) is the vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=a%28x-4%29%5E2%2B2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point to determine \"a\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"-73=a%28-1-4%29%5E2%2B2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-75=25a\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=-3\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
