What is the equation of a parabola with a vertex at (0, 0) and a focus at (0, 6).

@phi could you help me, I did this a few days ago but I need some brain refreshing

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Vertex (0,0) Focus (0,6) You should recognize this information to be sufficient to suggest \(4py = x^{2}\), where \(p\) is not yet known. If you REALLY remember what will fairly likely be required of you an an exam, you should also notice that \(p = 6\). Almost an eyeball problem if you remember the general form and the complete meaning of the distance from the Vertex to the Focus.
