Why don't you look at a similar problem you posted earlier, and try this one?
Don't you think that's a better way to learn how to do the problem, especially when you get it right?
Whatever you do, DO NOT follow the GARBAGE the other person suggested. Just substitute a point, preferably matrix%281%2C4%2C+%22%28%22%2C+1%2F5%2C+%22%2C%22%2C+%220%29%22%29
and the vertex, matrix%281%2C2%2C+%22%281%2C%22%2C+%22-+1%29%22%29 for (x, y) and (h, k), respectively, in the VERTEX form of a parabolic-equation, to get the value of "a."
Then substitute "a" and (h, k) to get the equation, in VERTEX form.
