Refer Explanation

#y=(x-7)^2-3#

Its vertex is -

x co-ordinate of the vertex is #-(-7)=7#
y co-ordinate of the vertex is #-3)#

At #(7, - 3)# the curve turns.

Since #a# is positive, the curve opens upward. It has a minimum at #(7, - 3)#

Take two points on either side of #x=7#.
Find the corresponding #y# values.

x: y
5: 1
6: -2
7: -3
8: -2
9: 1
