An architectural designer is modeling a parabolic entryway that is 10 feet wide and 5 feet high. Using a coordinate system where the bottom-left corner of the arch is at (0,0)(0, 0) and the vertex is at (5,5)(5, 5), what is the numerical value of the leading coefficient aa in the equation y=a(x5)2+5y = a(x - 5)^2 + 5?
