The Golden Gate bridge is very similar to a parabola. The main span cables are suspended between two towers 4200 feet apart and 500 feet above the road. Half way between, the cables get as low as 10 feet above the road. Write an equation that models the shape of the cables/bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic American landmark. It is located in San Francisco, California. It stretches over the San Francisco bay's opening into the Pacific ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge is the second longest suspension bridge in the United States. 80,000 miles of wire help make up the structure, along with 1,200,000 rivets. The Golden Gate Bridge is also a great example of a parabola because of its slightly rounded shape. The Golden Gate bridge is not only a symbol of California, it is also a symbol of the United States.
