let's notice something, the parabola is a vertical one, so the squared variable is the x, and is opening downwards, meaning the x² will have a negative coefficient.
the distance from the vertex to the directrix/focus is the amount of "p" units, let's see in the graph, the distance from the vertex to the directrix is 2, and since the parabola is opening downwards, "p" is a negative 2, p = -2. The vertex is of course at (0, 2).

Answer:
3,500 no votes
Step-by-step explanation:
There were 7 yes votes to every 4 no votes. There were a total of 6,125 yes votes, so set up a proportion to find the number of no votes
Let x represent the number of no votes
7 is to 4 as 6,125 is to x
We get
7/4 = 6,125/x
Now solve for x
First cross multiply
7x = 24,500
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x..
x = 3,500 no votes
