You can put this solution on YOUR website! It sounds like it could be either one.
The x-coordinate of the vertex is at where the equation looks like
The turning point is at (0,-7), so
Now I have
------------
It looks like can be any (+) or (-)
number since it just controls the shape
( narrow or wide ) and the direction
( open down or open up )
I'll say answer
Here's the plot:
