【General guidance】The answer provided below has been developed in a clear step by step manner.Step1/2 Given the vertex of the parabola is \( \mathrm{{\left(-{3},{2}\right)}} \).The objective is to find the axis of symmetry if the parabola opens downwards.Equation of parabola is \( \mathrm{{\left({x}-{\left(-{3}\right)}\right)}^{{2}}={4}{p}{\left({y}-{2}\right)}} \)where \( \mathrm{{4}{p}} \) is negative.Simplify to get,\( \mathrm{{\left({x}+{3}\right)}^{{2}}={4}{p}{\left({y}-{2}\right)}} \)Explanation:The equation of ...
