what equation has a graph tip parabola ?
Well we know it's a negative. Down is negative up is positive.

tbh im not that good at math
Okay so we know the vertex is (0,0) because it crosses both the x and y axis. We know it's negative because it's facing down. Further steps: The equation of a parabola is \[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 4(f−k)}(x−h)^2+k\] , where (h,k)(h,k) is the vertex and (h,f)(h,f) is the focus. Thus, h=0, k=0 The distance from the focus to the vertex is equal to the distance from the vertex to the directrix: f−k=k−3/4 Solving the system {h=0, k=0, f−k=k−3/4 ⎧h=0 {k=0 {f−k=k−43, we get that h=0, k=0, f=−3/4 The axis of symmetry is the line perpendicular to the directrix that passes through the vertex and the focus: x=0 The focal length is the distance between the focus and the vertex: 3/4. The focal parameter is the distance between the focus and the directrix: 3/2. The latus rectum is parallel to the directrix and passes through the focus: y=−3/4 The endpoints of the latus rectum can be found by solving the system {x^2+3y=0 {y=−3/4 The endpoints of the latus rectum are (−3/2,−3/4)(−2/3,−4/3) The length of the latus rectum (focal width) is four times the distance between the vertex and the focus: 3. The eccentricity of a parabola is always 1 The x-intercepts can be found by setting y=0y=0 in the equation and solving for x x-intercept: (0,0) The y-intercepts can be found by setting x=0x=0 in the equation and solving for y: y-intercept: (0,0) There for your answer should be y = \[-\frac{ x^2 }{ 3}\]
I hope I could help
hm
