If you have studied vertical and horizontal
shifts you might see that the basic y = x^2
curve has been moved 2 units to the right
and 3 units down.
------------------------
That puts the vertex at (2,-3) and hopefully
you see that the parabola is opening up.

If all that does not make sense your only
alternative is to plot points.
