The equation of the parabola, in vertex form is

Answer 1

`~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{`

`\begin{cases} h=1\\ k=-9 \end{cases}\implies y=a(x-1)^2 - 9\qquad \textit{we also know that} \begin{cases} x=2\\ y=-7 \end{cases} \\\\\\ -7=a(2-1)^2-9\implies 2=a(1)^2\implies 2=a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=2(x-1)^2 -9 \end{array}} ~\hfill`
