The focus is above the directrix, so the parabola opens upward—its vertical scale factor is positive (+1/12). The line of symmetry is x=-5, so the vertex form of the equation will have the factor (x -(-5))² = (x+5)². The choice that meets both these requirements is
D. f(x) = (1/12)(x + 5)² + 2
Answer:
The coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola equation is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in its vertex form is:

Where the vertex of the parabola is the point (h, k)
a is the ceoficiente of the term to the square.
We need to find the equation of a parabola that has its vertex in the point:
(-5, -2)
So:

Therefore the equation is:

We know that the point (-4, 2) belongs to this parable. Then we can find the value of a by replacing the point in the equation of the parabola

Finally the coefficient is a = 4
