so.. the vertex is a the origin the focus point is a 0. -7 care to draw those two in a cartesian plane?|dw:1437175007773:dw|

OpenStudy (chrisdbest):

Vertex is at origin, and focus point is at 0, -7 like you said

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok... so what are the coordinates for the origin?

OpenStudy (chrisdbest):

Isn't it 0,0?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap so |dw:1437175183982:dw| so.... if the parabola makes a U-turn at the 0,0 and the focus is below the vertex that means the parabola is |dw:1437175290874:dw|
