Determining the equation of a parabola can be achieved by utilizing its vertex (h,k) and an additional point (x1, y1). The standard formula for this is y=a(x-h)²+k. By substituting the given vertex and point values into the formula, and then solving for 'a', we can ascertain the equation of the parabola.
