A parabola is graphed below. What is the equation in vertex form of this parabola?

A
y=2(x−2)2−3

B
y=2(x+2)2−3

C
y=12(x−2)2−3

D
y=12(x+2)2−3

thank you so much! please hurry <3

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here the vertex = (- 2, - 3 ) , then

y = a(x - (- 2))² - 3 , that is

y = a(x + 2)² - 3

To find a, substitute any point on the graph into the equation

Using the coordinates of the y- intercept (0, 5 )

5 = a(0 + 2)² - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

8 = a(2)² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

2 = a

y = 2(x + 2)² - 3 → B

-2 is the right
