Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents the parabola with axis of symmetry is horizontal.

So, the equation of the horizontal parabola is given as,


x=ay^2+by+c

c is x-intercept. If a is positive, the graph opens to the right, and if a is negative, the graph opens to the left.

From the graph, it is observed that the graph opens to the right.

So, a must be positive, and x-intercept is (0,0) it gives values of c is zero.

From all the above discussion, the equation that represents the equation of parabola is,


x=(1)/(6)y^2

Answer: option A)
