axis x=-(y-2)^2-3

axis

y = 2

Solution steps

x = - (y - 2)^{2} - 3

Rewrite

x = - (y - 2)^{2} - 3

in the standard form:

4 (- \frac{1}{4}) (x - (- 3)) = (y - 2)^{2}

Therefore parabola properties are:

(h, k) = (- 3, 2), p = - \frac{1}{4}

Parabola is of the form

4 p (x - h) = (y - k)^{2}

and is symmetric around the

x

-axis

Axis of symmetry is a line parallel to the

x

-axis which intersects the vertex:

y = 2
