You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = —(x+2)^2—3
----
Plot the vertex at (-2,-3)
From there the parabola opens downward because of the negative sign in
from on (x+2)^2.
----
y-intercept:
Let x = 0, then y = -4-3 = -7
Plot (0,-7)
---------
That should be enough to draw the graph of the parabola.
