True/False

In a structural design for a building entryway, a parabolic arch is planned to be 20{}20 feet high and 40{}40 feet wide. If a coordinate system is established such that the left base of the arch is at the origin (0,0)(0, 0), the leading coefficient aa in the vertex form equation y=a(x20)2+20y = a(x - 20)^2 + 20 is equal to - rac{1}{20}.
