Answer:

Yes, you can

Explanation:

The standard form of the equation of a parabola is
y=ax^2+bx+c

When given three points, you substitute each point into the equation to obtain 3 simultaneous linear equations.

You then solve the three equations simultaneously to find the values of the constants a,b, and c.

You then substitute these constants into
y=ax^2+bx+c
