A parabola with vertex (h, k) has equation:
y = a(x - h)² + k
With vertex (-3, -1) this becomes:
y = a(x - -3)² + -1 = a(x + 3)² - 1
The point (4, 0) is on this parabola so:
0 = a(4 + 3)² - 1
→ 7²a = 1
→ a = 1/49
Thus the coefficient of x² is 1/49.

What is the relationship of a vertex to a parabola?
The vertex is either the minimum (very bottom) or maximum (very top) of a parabola.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the side opposite that vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.

What is the coefficient of the squared term in the parabola's equation when the vertex is at -2 -3 and the point -1 -5 is on it?
A parabola with vertex (h, k) has equation of the form: y = a(x - h)² + k → vertex (k, h) = (-2, -3), and a point on it is (-1, -5) → -5 = a(-1 - -2)² + -3 → -5 = a(1)² - 3 → -5 = a - 3 → a = -2 → The coefficient of the x² term is -2.
