Put into standard form according to what is given:
highlight_green%28y=a%28x-3%29%5E2-4%29, and a sketch or picture or visualization using the two given points will suggest the vertex is a minimum, so a%3E0.

a%28x-3%29%5E2=y%2B4
a=%28y%2B4%29%2F%28x-3%29%5E2
Substitute the given point to be contained.
a=%28-2%2B4%29%2F%282-3%29%5E2
highlight_green%28a=2%29.
