which equation represents the parabola shown on the graph? y^2=-2x y^2=-8 y^2=-2y y^2=-8y

Answer:
Choice B is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of the parabola opens towards the left. This implies that the general form of the equation of the parabola will be;
[tex]y^{2}=f(x)[/tex]
Nevertheless, the points (-2, -4) and (-2, 4) lie on the graph of the parabola. We substitute x = -2 in the equations having the form above.
In the second equation, we have;
[tex]y^{2}=-8(-2)\\\\y^{2}=16\\\\y=\sqrt{16}=+4, -4[/tex]
This is thus the equation of the parabola graphed.
