Question

Determine the equation of the parabola graphed below.

The image displays a graph of a quadratic function, specifically a parabola, which is oriented upwards. The parabola passes through the point (0, 5) on the y-axis, indicating that this is likely the y-intercept. The vertex of the parabola is at (-2, 1), representing the minimum point on the graph.

Key features of the graph:

- **Axes:** The graph has both x and y-axes, which are marked with intervals from -4 to 4 on the x-axis and -1 to 5 on the y-axis.
- **Grid:** A grid is present to aid in locating the coordinates and understanding the shape of the parabola.
- **Parabola:** The parabola is symmetrical around the vertical line passing through x = -2, which is the axis of symmetry for the quadratic function.

This graph is useful for understanding the properties of quadratic functions, such as the standard form equation \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\), and for identifying characteristics like the vertex, axis of symmetry, and y-intercept.
