arabolas with Vertices at the Origin SUBMIT Question 1 of 10 Multiple Choice: Please select the best answer and click \"submit. Which of the equations below could be the equation of this parabola? 10 (0,0) 10 Vertex 10 A y=-3x2

Solution

Since parabola is facing neagtive x axis, its equation is (y-a)^2= -4a(x-b)

Since it passes through the vertex at (0,0),

Then a=0,b=0

Hence y^2=-4ax will be form of the equation of the curve.

Comparing the given options,

B)x =-3y^2

or y^2= -3x is the most appropriate answer.
