Question

What does the equation represent?

	A.	Parabola
	B.	Circle
	C.	Hyperbola
	D.	Ellipse

 

Answer 1

The equation is x = (-1/12)y².

The vertex form of parabola equation is x = a(y - k)² + h, where (h, k) = vertex .

Where, vertex (h, k) = (0, 0) and a = -1/12

So the equation represents parabola.

So Option A is correct.
