Answer

$f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}(x+4)^{2}-2$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}x^{2}$ In order to have a vertex in the point $(-4,-2)$, this function needs to be moved $4$ units to the left and $2$ units down. $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$ Substitute $a=\displaystyle \frac{3}{5},h=-4,k=-2$ $f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}(x+4)^{2}-2$
