Answer:

Choice D: ( x + 1) = ( y - 2) ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola given is left to right, meaning it curves towards the right.

Therefore, its equation must look like:


(x+c)=(y+a)^2

For a second, we notice that the point ( - 1, 2) is the vertex of the parabola. This means that the parabola is shifted 1 unit to the left and 2 units upwards. Therefore, The equation of the parabola must be:


(x+1)=(y-2)^2

Hence, choice D is the correct answer.
