Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with the given characteristic and vertex at the origin. y=-3
-----
Sketch the characteristic as the line y = -3.
Plot the vertex at (0,0)
----
The distance from vertex to y = -3 is 3
-----
Form:
(x-h)^2 = (4p)(y-k)
---
h = k = 0 and p = 3
-----
Equation:
x^2 = 12(y)
----
y = (1/12)x^2
