An equation for a sideways parabola can be expressed in the form ( y^2 = 4px ) for a parabola that opens to the right, or ( y^2 = -4px ) for one that opens to the left. Here, ( p ) represents the distance from the vertex to the focus. The vertex of the parabola is at the origin (0,0), and the axis of symmetry is horizontal. If the vertex is not at the origin, the equation can be adjusted to ( (y-k)^2 = 4p(x-h) ), where ((h, k)) is the vertex.

How can you tell if a parabola moves up or down in an equation?

Look at the discriminant, B2 - 4AC, in the quadratic equation. As it goes from negative to positive, the parabola moves in the direction of its small end towards the X-axis. At zero, it touches the X-axis.


How do you draw a curved line on a graph from the equation?

i dont think there is such thing as the equation of a curved line the closest is probably a (hyperbola, ellipse, or parabola) with a restriction making it look like a curved line but it would be very complicated

How do you find the x-intercept of a parabola?

Factorise equation, and look at what x values are needed for the equation to equal zero. Eg. x^2+5x+6 (x+3)(x+2)=0 So parabola intercepts x axis at -3 and -2.
