It is like the letter U.
When the coefficient of the y term ( a ) in the equation of a parabola is negative, the parabola opens downward. This means that its vertex is the highest point on the graph. Conversely, if ( a ) were positive, the parabola would open upward.
Upwards: it is cup shaped, not cap shaped.
If the value of ( a ) in the equation ( y = ax^2 ) is positive, the parabola opens upwards. This means that the vertex of the parabola is the lowest point, and as you move away from the vertex in either direction along the x-axis, the value of ( y ) increases. Conversely, if ( a ) were negative, the parabola would open downwards.

The given terms can't be an equation without an equality sign but a negative parabola opens down wards whereas a positive parabola opens up wards.
Open to the right. Like the sign for a subset, or a rounded version of the less than symbol, <.
I’m assuming you mean x = ay^2 the answer would be Right. Because it is positive. hope this helps! (:
It does both depending if it is positive or negative
right apex. hope that helps
