Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the equation of parabola using given information
- Vertex: (0,0)
- Open to the left
- Focal width = 12
If parabola open left and passes through origin then equation is
Focal width = 12
Focal width passes through focus and focus is mid point of focal width.
Focus of above parabola would be (-a,0)
Passing point on parabola (-a,6) and (-a,-6)
Now we put passing point into equation and solve for a
a can't be negative.
Therefore, a=3
Focus: (-3,0)
Equation of parabola:
