Answer:
(a variation of) vertex form
Step-by-step explanation:
For vertical scale factor "a" and vertex (h, k), the vertex form of the equation for a parabola can be written as ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
If k is subtracted from this equation, an alternate form is ...
y -k = a(x -h)^2
This latter version of vertex form is the form your equation has, where ...
- a = 8
- (h, k) = (-7, -20)
