You can put this solution on YOUR website! whatis the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola that is given? x=-1.5(y-1)^2+4
This parabola is of the form, x=A(y-k)^2+h, (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
Just by inspection of the equation, you should see that this is a parabola with its axis of symmetry horizontal, opening to the left, with the vertex at (4,1).
The larger the coefficient, A, the narrower the parabola.
ans: The y-coordinate of the vertex=1
see the following graph:1+(x-4)/-(1.5))^.5
