Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (4,-7) and a directrix of y= -15. Put the equation in standard form. If you could show me how to do it, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you(:

The vertex is half way between the focus and the directrix. So your first job is to find the vertex.
