HELP ME PLEASE? I'LL GIVE YOU A METAL! ^_^
What is an equation of a parabola with the given vertex and focus?

Vertex (-2, 5); focus ( -2, 6)

Answer 1

Since the x-coordinates of the vertex and focus are the same, they are one of top of the other, so this is a regular vertical parabola, where the x part is squared. Since the vertex is below the focus, this is a right-side up parabola and p is positive. Since the vertex and focus are 5 – 1 = 4 units apart, then p = 4.

Answer 2

its like that

Answer 3

So how would I make that into an equation?
