highlight_green%28y=a%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk%29 is standard form equation for a parabola.
The vertex is (h,k) and y-intercept would be y=a%2Ah%5E2%2Bk.

Identify the vertex and y intercept of the graph y=-2 (x+5)^2+8
Equation for the vertex form of a parabola: f%28x%29+=+a%28x+-+h%29%5E2+%2B+k, with: (h, k) being the coordinates of the vertex.

Determine what (h, k) is in this equation

y-intercept: f%280%29+=+-+2%28x+%2B+5%29%5E2+%2B+8
