----------------------------------------------------------
A parabola has intercepts of x = -2, x = 3, and y = -4.
---------------------------------------------------------


y=a%28x%2B2%29%28x-3%29
a=y%2F%28%28x%2B2%29%29%28x-3%29%29
Given point includes (0,-4).
a=-4%2F%282%2A%28-3%29%29
a=-4%2F%28-6%29
a=2%2F3

highlight%28y=%282%2F3%29%28x%2B2%29%28x-3%29%29

You can do the algebra & multiplication for the "standard" form.
