#y=-3(x+3)^2+12#

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 "(h,k)=(-3,12)#

#rArry=a(x+3)^2+12#

#"to find a substitute "(-1,0)" into the equation"#

#0=4a+12rArra=-3#

#rArry=-3(x+3)^2+12larrcolor(red)" in vertex form"#
