Answer:

The easiest way to find the equation of a parabola is by using your knowledge of a special point, called the vertex, which is located on the parabola itself.

Explanation:

If you see a quadratic equation in two variables, of the form y = ax2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 0, then congratulations! You've found a parabola. The quadratic equation is sometimes also known as the "standard form" formula of a parabola.
