In which direction does the parabola that is given by the equation below open?
x = 1.5(y - 7)2 + 5
**
Standard form of equation for parabola: y=A(x-h)^2+k, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
For given equation:
vertex:(7,5)
A=1.5
If A>0, parabola opens upwards.
if A<0, parabola opens downwards.
So given parabola opens upwards
