Note how all four answer choices begin with "x=-2(." This tells us that we have the graph of a horizontal parabola that opens to the left, because of the "-" symbol.
Given that the vertex is located at (-1,-3), we know that the (y-c) term must be (y-[-3]), or (y+3). Thus,we can immediately eliminate answer choices b and d
The only answer choice that fits this situation is (a): x = -2(y+3) - 1.
