y =  ax^2   +  k

 

If  the  vertexx is  (0, -4),  then  k   = -4

 

And  the  point (3,7)  is on the parbola implies that

 

7 =  a (3)^2  -  4     add 4  to  both  sides

 

11  = a (9)    divide both sides  by  9

 

11/9  = a

 

So.....the  equation is

 

y = (11/9)x^2  -  4

This is a correction nobody will care about but this question is in Algebra 1 not precalc.
