Rewrite the Equation in Standard Form $$x = y ^ { 2 } + 14 y + 44$$

question 31

Multiple Choice

Rewrite the equation in standard form. Determine whether the parabola is horizontal or vertical, the direction it opens,
and the vertex.
- $$x = y ^ { 2 } + 14 y + 44$$

• A) \(x = ( y + 7 ) ^ { 2 } - 5\)
• horizontal, opens to the right, vertex \(( - 5 , - 7 )\)
• B) \(x = ( y + 7 ) ^ { 2 } - 5\)
• horizontal, opens to the right, vertex \(( - 7 , - 5 )\)
• C) \(x = ( y + 7 ) ^ { 2 } - 5\)
• horizontal, opens to the left, vertex \(( - 5 , - 7 )\)
• D) \(x = ( y + 5 ) ^ { 2 } - 7\)
• horizontal, opens to the left, vertex \(( - 7 , - 5 )\)
