how the shape of the parabola relates to the equation.

Standard form of an equation for a parabola: y=A(x-h)^2+k, (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex. The coefficient A affects the steepness or slope of the curve. The larger A is the steeper the curve or the narrower it is. Try it on a graphing calculator to see it yourself.
