#y=(x-2)^2-4#

Explanation:

#"the equation of a parabola in "color(blue)"vertex form"# is.

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=a(x-h)^2+k)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where ( h , k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a constant.

#"here vertex "=(2,-4)=(h,k)#

#rArry=a(x-2)^2-4#

#"to find a substitute "(0,0)" into the equation"#

#0=4a-4rArra=1#

#rArry=(x-2)^2-4larrcolor(red)" in vertex form"#
graph{(x-2)^2-4 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
