Any point on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix. 1. Use (x,y). Choose a point on the parabola 3. \[\sqrt{(x-5)^2}. \] find the distance from the parabola to the directrix 2. \[\sqrt{(x+1)^2 + (y-2)^2}\]Find the distance from the focus to the point on the parabola. 4. \[\sqrt{(x-5)^2}. \] = \[\sqrt{(x+1)^2 + (y-2)^2}\]. Set the distance from the focus to the point equal to the distance from the directrix to the point 5. Squre both sides and simplify 6. Write the equation of the parabola
