Answer:

see below for the graph

Explanation:

We can specify the location of the minimum and the axis of symmetry using the vertex form of the quadratic equation:

y = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . . . vertex (h, k); scale factor 'a'

We can put the given values into the equation to see what 'a' needs to be to make the function have the desired y-intercept.

-3 = a(0 -(-2))² +(-5)

2 = 4a . . . . add 5 and simplify

a = 1/2 . . . . divide by 4

The equation for the desired function can be ...

y = 1/2(x +2)² -5
