Answer:

The given parabola opens to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

The equation of the parabola is x=ay^2

If in the parabola,

<em>1. If 'a' is positive, then the parabola opens upwards or right.</em>

<em>2.</em><em> If 'a' is negative, then the parabola opens downwards or left.</em>

Moreover,

<em>3. If x is squared, then the parabola opens upwards or downwards.</em>

<em>4. </em><em>If y is squared, then the parabola opens left or right.</em>

Now, as we are given the parabola having y^2 and 'a' is negative.

Thus, from the points 4 and 2, we get,

The given parabola opens to the left.

Kaylis [27]
Y2-y1/x2-x1
4-6/10-1
-2/9 is the slope

y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-6=-2/9(x-1)
y-6=-2/9x-2/9
Multiply both sides by 9
9y-54=-2x-2
2x+9y=52

Therefore 2x+9y=52 is the equation
