Aye my brother needs help with this lol, O^O

The vertex of this parabola is at (-2,-3). when the x-value is -1, the y-value is -5. what is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation?

Which is the correct first step in finding the area of the base of a cylinder with a volume of 26x cubic meters and a height of 6.5 meters? v=bh 6.5=b(26x) v=bh v=26pi+(6.5) v=bh v=26pi(6.5) v=bh 26pi=b(6.5)
