Learn how to write the equation of a parabola given the vertex and a point

The video tutorial explains how to write a quadratic equation in vertex form, solve for the coefficient 'a', and convert the equation to standard form. It begins by introducing the vertex form and the necessary components, H and K. The instructor then demonstrates solving for 'a' using a given vertex and point on the line. Finally, the tutorial covers converting the vertex form to standard form by expanding the equation and distributing terms.

What is the significance of the values H and K in the vertex form of a quadratic equation?
