OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1382651560988:dw| so... which way do you think the parabola is opening? vertically or horizontally?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

horizontally?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1382651805219:dw| for a parabola of that kind, horizontally opening, the "focus form" equation will be \(\bf (x-h)^2=4p(y-k)\) the vertex is at (h, k) p = distance from the vertex to the focus
