A parabola opens to the left. Which could be the equation of the parabola?

A parabola that opens left or right has the form (y − k)² = 4p(x − h). It opens left when 4p is negative, so the coefficient on the right side must be negative. Choice D, (y − 4)² = −4(x + 3), has that form and a negative coefficient.
