Question

The parabola has focus (–8, 0) and vertex at the origin

Answer 1

x = -1/32y^2

Explanation:

Since the focus is to the left of the vertex at a distance of 8 units, the equation can be written as ...

x -h = 1/(4p)(y -k)^2 . . . . with vertex-focus distance of p and vertex (h, k)

x = -1/32y^2
