We have been given that a parabola has vertex
and also passes through the point
. We are asked to write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.
We know that vertex form of parabola in format
, with a vertex at point (h,k).
Let us write equation of parabola using our given information as:
Now we will substitute the coordinates of point
to solve for a as:
Therefore, our required equation would be
.
