Explanation:

y=(x-7)^2-3

Its vertex is -

x co-ordinate of the vertex is -(-7)=7
y co-ordinate of the vertex is -3)

At (7, - 3) the curve turns.

Since a is positive, the curve opens upward. It has a minimum at (7, - 3)

Take two points on either side of x=7.
Find the corresponding y values.

x: y
5: 1
6: -2
7: -3
8: -2
9: 1
