You can put this solution on YOUR website!
graph the function, find the vertex, line of symmetry, and maximum or minimum value of f(x)=(x+2)^2-3
----
Vertex: (-2,-3)
symmetry: x = -2
Minimum occurs at the vertex = -3
----
Plot the vertex (-2,-3)
Plot the y-intercept: f(0) = 1
---
Draw a parabola opening upward from (-2,-3)
