To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- The vertex of the parabola is (-3,-13) and the y intercept is -4.

2. You have the the Standard form of the equation of the parabola is:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

Where the vertex is (h,k)

3. Therefore, you have:

-4=a(0-(-3))^2-13
a=9/9
a=1

4. Finally, you have that the equation is:

y=(x+3)^2-13
