There are infinitely many equations; 4 possibilities are:
y = x² - 29
y = 21 - x²
x = y² - 11
x = 21 - y²
Given the focus as well would give an exact equation
5
-3
2
The vertex of this parabola is at -2 -3 When the y-value is -2 the x-value is -5. The coefficient of the squared term in the parabola's equation is -3.
A parabola with vertex (h, k) has equation of the form: y = a(x - h)² + k → vertex (k, h) = (-2, -3), and a point on it is (-1, -5) → -5 = a(-1 - -2)² + -3 → -5 = a(1)² - 3 → -5 = a - 3 → a = -2 → The coefficient of the x² term is -2.
