Answer:

the value of p=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of a parabola is

[tex]y^2= 4p(x)[/tex] where vertex is at (0,0)

now we compare the given equation with general form

[tex]y^2=-4x[/tex]

We have -4 in the place of 4p

[tex]4p=-4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

so p = -1

the value of p = -1
