HELP ASAP
what is the question though
Graph each pair of parametric equations.
sigh the fastest way is a calculator, if it is allowed, but other than that, this is out of my range
how about any of these:

I need help with those 3 please
The main idea of the first one is, remember the distance from any point on a parabola to the focus is the same as the distance from that point to the directrix...

For the first parabola, you just have to remember that the distance between any point on the parabola and the focus is the same distance from that point on the parabola to the directrix. If you call the arbitrary point on the parabola (x,y), Recall the distance formula \[d=\sqrt{(x-x _{0})^2+(y-y _{0})^2}\]
Distance from point (x,y) on the parabola, to the focus point (0, -2) \[\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-2))^2}\] Distance from point (x,y) on the parabola, to the directrix y=2 \[\left| y-2 \right|\] The property of parabola is that those are both the same \[\large \sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}=\left| y-2 \right|\]
You can simplify that down to the standard form y=ax^2 + bx + c squaring an absolute value can remove the absolute value, squaring a negative is positive anyway \[x^2 + (y+2)^2=(y-2)^2\] \[x^2 + y^2+4y+4=y^2-4y +4\] \[x^2=-8y\] \[\large y=\frac{ -1 }{ 8 }x^2\] that is it
