Sorry for the confusion, redoing my answer for you!
Using the points (9/2,1), (-7/2,7)
m=y2−y1 over x2−x1
Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.
m=7−(1) over −72−(92)
simplify
m=−3/4
Use the slope −3/4 and a given point (9/2,1) to substitute for x1 and y1 in the point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1)
y−(1)=−3/4⋅(x−(9/2))
Rewrite in y=mx+b
solve for y
y=−3x/4+35/8
ill use desmos to graph (y=−3x/4+35/8)

in short, you simply pick a few random "x" values, to get the "y", and that's your point, for example say x = 2, then y = -(2)² - 4 => y = -8, that gives us the point of (2, -8), and so on.
we can start off by finding the vertex, the U-turn of the graph, and then just pick a point to its left side and a point to its right side, and we can get the vertex of that by
and since it's a vertical parabola, the axis of symmetry comes from the x-coordinate of the vertex, namely x = 0, check the picture below.
