Coordinate Mapping for a Parabolic Archway

A manufacturing technician is programming a CNC router to cut out a parabolic archway for a custom interior design project. The archway is specified to be 10 feet wide at its base and reaches a maximum peak height of 5 feet. To input the dimensions into the CNC coordinate system, the technician aligns the lower-left base of the archway with the origin (0, 0). State the exact coordinates of the three primary reference points on the grid needed to define this archway: the lower-left base, the lower-right base, and the peak (vertex).
