Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

You're correct.

The form of the equation you need is

[tex]x=a(y-k)^2+h[/tex]

Filling in our h, k, y, and x:

[tex]-5=a(-2+3)^2-2[/tex] which simplifies to

[tex]-5=a(1)-2[/tex] which simplifies further to

[tex]a=-3[/tex]

Very good!!!! These can be tricky, but you got it!!
