PLEASE HELP!! What is the equation of the following graph in vertex form?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of an equation of the parabola:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
the vertex is (4, -4) ⇒ h = 4, k = -4
so:
f(x) = a(x - 4)² + (-4)
f(x) = a(x - 4)² - 4
So the right answer is the first one.
