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)=(0,0)#
#rArry=ax^2#
#"to find a, substitute " (-2,-12)" into the equation"#
#-12=4arArra=-3#
#rArry=-3(x-0)^2+0larrcolor(red)" in vertex form"#
