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)
