Question 2 of 10

Find the equation of a downward-opening parabola with a given vertex.

\( \text{What is the equation of a parabola that opens downward and has vertex } (0, 5)? \)

Choose one option:

Identify h and k from the vertex, set a negative for downward opening.

In vertex form, y = a(x-h)^2 + k, a < 0 gives downward opening, (h,k) is the vertex.
