Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c
Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then
−15 = 4a + 2b + c
Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c
Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then
−5 = 9a − 3b + c
Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5
Solving it we get that
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1
Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1

Rewriting in the form of
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y
ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)
iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)
iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)
v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36
vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36)
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)
vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p)
So, after rewriting the equation would be -
(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)

If you want it written in exponential form it would look like this:
Answer:
y = (-1/5)x + 23/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two points;
(-2,5) and (3,4)
Find:
Equation of slope
Computation:
y = mx + b
5 = m(-2) + b
5 = -2m + b .......... Eq1
4 = m(3) + b
4 = 3m + b .......... Eq2
Eq2 - Eq1
-1 = 5m
m = -1/5
5 = -2m + b
5 = -2(-1/5) + b
5 = 2/5 + b
b = 23/5
y = mx + b
y = (-1/5)x + 23/5
