Question 836749
Find the equation of the parabola whose vertex is at the point (4,-3) length of latus rectum is 4 and whose axis is parallel to x axis?
***
This is a parabola that opens leftward:
Its basic form of equation: (y-k)^2=-4p(x-h)
4p=length of latus rectum or focal width=4
equation: (y+3)^2=-4(x-4)
