The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to
where
a is a coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
In this problem we have
(h,k)=(1,-4)
substitute
we have
An x-intercept of (-1,0)
substitute and solve for a
The equation is
<u><em>Verify the y-intercept</em></u>
For x=0
The y-intercept is the point (0,-3) -----> is correct
using a graphing tool
