27. Since the parabola is symmetric with respect to y-axis and has vertex (0, 0)
The equation in of the form x3 = 4ay or x2 = 4ay.
The parabola passes through (5, 2) which lies on the 1st quadrant
? The equation of parabola is of the form,
x2 = 4ay
Putting x = 5 and y = 2,
(5)2 = 4 (a) (2)
25 = 8a
a =
? The equation of the parabola is,
x2 = 4ay
2x2 = 25y

26. Since the axis of parabola is x-axis,
The equation parabola is either y2 = 4ax or y2 = 4ax.
Also it passes through (2, 3) which lies in the first quadrant.
So the equation is,
y2= 4ax
Putting x = 2 and y = 3, we set
(3)2 = 4 (a) (2)
a =
? The equation of parabola is y2 = 4
y2 =
2y2 = 9x

25. Focus (-2, 0) lies on x-axis and the x-Co-ordinate is negative.
The equation must be, y2 = 4ax
Co-ordinate of focus = (–a, 0) = (–2, 0)
–a = –2
a = 2
? Equation of a parabola is,
y2 = –4 (2)x
y2 = –8x
