$y = a(x-h)^2 + k$
you are given $h = -1$
write two equations using the two given (x,y) coordinates and solve the system for $a$ and $k$

Actually, there are two solutions... one with a = A and one with a = -A. This corresponds to one parabola opening upward and another opening downward.Azurin said:The equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of a quadratic function is x=-1.
