<PRE><B>Question 998237</B>
What is the equation in standard form of the parabola whose vertex is (2,5), which passes through the point (-5,2) 
--------------------------------
Vertex Form:: y = a(x-h)^2+k
------
Using vertex (2,5) ::
y = a(x-2)^2 + 5
-----
Using point (-5,2)
2 = a(-5-2)^2+5
2 = a(54)
a = 1/27
-----
Ans: y = (1/27)(x-2)^2+5
