how do you write the equation of a parabola given the vertex at origin and focus of (-1/12, 0)
\n" ); document.write( "Parabola opens leftward:
\n" ); document.write( "Its basic equation: (y-h)^2=-4p(x-k), (h,k)=coordinates of the vertex
\n" ); document.write( "For given parabola:
\n" ); document.write( "vertex: (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "p=1/12
\n" ); document.write( "4p=1/3
\n" ); document.write( "equation: y^2=-x/3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
