Since the 37 is negative the parabola will open downward.
The coefficient on the outside of the ^2 tells you if it opens up or down. If it's positive it opens upward and if it's negative it opens downward.
For the parabola to open sideways it would be a form of x = y^2
25 and -12 because when you subtract 12 from 25 you will get 13 and when you multiply 25 by -12 you will get -300
longer congruent sides = 6-0 OR 4-(-2) = 6units
perimeter= 3.6×2 + 6×2 = 19.2units
height of parallelogram= 2-(-1) = 3 units
area= 3×6 = 18unit^2
