Determine the quadratic function of f whose graph is given. the vertex is (1,-3) and the y-intercept is -2

Hmmm the y-intercept is at -2?  what does that mean?  well, is where the graph "intercepts" or touches the y-axis, and when that happens, x = 0, so the point is really ( 0 , -2 ).

and we know where the vertex is at.  Let's assume a vertical parabola, in which case the squared variable is the "x".

She should use 12/3 to measure
