  1. A \(y^2=8(x+3)\)
  2. B \(y^2=8(x-3)\)
  3. C \(x^2=8(y+3)\)
  4. D \(x^2=8(y-3)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(y^2=8(x+3)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given parabola is, So, its equation is, \(y^2=4 a(x-(-3)\) Where \(a=2\) units. \(\therefore \quad y^2=8(x+3)\)
