Can someone please help. What is the equation of the parabola with vertex 0,0 and focus -5,0

OpenStudy (mertsj):

We know , from the location of the vertex and the focus that the parabola opens to the left. Would you agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it ve y^2=4(-5)x? -5 because the distance between the focus... -5 and 0 is -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

y^2=-20x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that's what I got. Thank you
