Answer:

the general equation of parabola is,

y=ax²+bx+c,

you put the given points in the equation since they will satisfy the equation, after that you should get three equations with only a,b,c in them, solve them for a,b,c and find their values, then just put the values in the main equation, which is, y=ax²+bx+c, that's all you have to do
