I have a test I'm doing and it makes no sense. Here are some of the questions, and thx for the other answer. -12 = p - 7
-7b = -35
-5/8w = -9
9/25 = p/125
-3a +4 = -14

up

step-by-step explanation:

the orientation of the parabolas can easily be found by analysing the power of x and y and their signs. if x is squared , parabola opens up and also if its coefficient is negative it opens down. if y is squared , the parabola opens right and also if its coefficient is negative it opens left. however in order to do the above analysis our equation must be in standard form .

our parabola is

which is not standard form of any parabola . hence we square on both hand side and convert it into standard form.

hence we see that x is squared and its coefficient is non negative . there for it opens up.
