Question 967699: Find an equation for the parabola shown in the figure.

(if a hyper link isn't attached then copy and paste to see the figure)I did add what the figure is showing below.
________________________________________________________________________________
Vertex:(-2,3)
with a point at (2,2)
So, what I knew about this question was that the basic equation for a parabola is (x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)
which I substituted (-2,3) for (h,k)
(x+2)^2 = 4p(y-3)
But I'm stuck as to where the point(2,2) would go into that equation. Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) (Show Source):
