find the graph of the parabola y^2+6y+8x+25=0
------------
Complete the square on the y-terms:
y^2+6y+9 = -8x-25+9
(y+3)^2 = -8x-16
---
solve for "x":
8x = -(y+3)^2 - 16
---
x = (-1/8)(y+3)^2 - 2
------
Graph the parabola:
Vertex at (-2,-3)
Opens to the left.
---
If y = -3, x = -2
-----------------------
That is enough information to sketch the graph.
