What is the equation of the parabola with vertex (3,4) and focus (6,4)?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

that didn't really help

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

sorry.....?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

draw a diagram showing the vertex and focus |dw:1427398910902:dw|

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

okay...

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the parabola is concave right so its in the form \[y(y - k)^2 = 4a(x - h)\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

(h, k) is the vertex and a is the focal length|dw:1427399017867:dw| substitute the values and then simplify the equation
