We have
y²=-12x

the vertex is the point (0,0)------------- > see the attached figure

standard form: (y-k)^2=4p(x-h), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
vertex(0,0)
4p=-12---- > p=-12/4
p=-3
Focus:(-3,0)

the answer is (-3,0)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 1 \ pound \ of \ dough = 1\frac{1}{5} \ cup \ of \ flour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle \underline{Given \ that:}\\\\\frac{5}{8} \ pound \ of \ dough = \frac{3}{4} \ cup\ of \ flour\\\\Multiply \ 8 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\5 \ pounds \ of \ dough = \frac{3}{4} \times 8 \ cup \ of \ flour\\\\5 \ pounds \ of \ dough = 3 \times 2 \ cup \ of \ flour\\\\5 \ pounds \ of \ dough = 6 \ cups \ of \ flour\\\\Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 5\\\\1 \ pound \ of \ dough = \frac{6}{5} \ cup \ of \ flour\\\\\boxed{1 \ pound \ of \ dough = 1\frac{1}{5} \ cup \ of \ flour}\\\\$
