Why don't you ask the teacher for help

The equation of a parabola is \[x=\frac{ 1 }{ 4(f−h) }(y−k)^2+h\], where (h,k) is the vertex and (f,k) is the focus. Thus, h=0, k=0. The distance from the focus to the vertex is equal to the distance from the vertex to the directrix: f−h=h−8/3​. Solving the system {h=0, k=0, f−h=h−83 we get that h=0, k=0, f=−8/3​ The axis of symmetry is the line perpendicular to the directrix that passes through the vertex and the focus: y=0. The focal length is the distance between the focus and the vertex: 8/3. The focal parameter is the distance between the focus and the directrix: 16/3 The latus rectum is parallel to the directrix and passes through the focus: x=−8/3 The endpoints of the latus rectum can be found by solving the system {3/2x+3y^2=0 The endpoints of the latus rectum are (−8/3,−16/3)(-8/3,16/3) The length of the latus rectum (focal width) is four times the distance between the vertex and the focus: 32/3 The eccentricity of a parabola is always 1 The x-intercepts can be found by setting y=0 in the equation and solving for x x-intercept: (0,0) The y-intercepts can be found by setting x=0 in the equation and solving for y: y-intercept: (0,0) In standard form the answer is \[x=−\frac{ 3y^2 }{ 32 }\] (Fyi I'm glad I can help and I don't care what other's say lol)

Why are we going to give her the answer instead of explain it to her and then she if she can answer the question on her own.

says it's not right

well than I'm not entirely sure what it is, if it's says it's incorrect. I thought it was correct. I'm sorry for getting it wrong.
