Answer:
(0,0)
Explanation:
x = -⅛y²
The equation exchanges x and y, so this is a sideways parabola.
It opens to the left because the coefficient of y² is negative.
The vertex form of a sideways parabola with its vertex at (h, k) is:
x = a(y – k)² + h
Your equation is
x = -⅛(y - 0)² + 0
By comparing the two equations, we find that
h = 0; k = 0.
The vertex is at (0, 0).
The Figure shows your parabola with its vertex at (0,0).
