#y=-1/4(x-2)^2+3#

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)=(2,3)#

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

To find a, substitute the point (0 , 2) into the equation.

#rArr2=4a+3rArra=-1/4#

#rArry=-1/4(x-2)^2+3" is the quadratic function"#
