\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Since the square term is $\"\"$ , the parabola is vertical.

\

Standard form of the vertical parabola is $\"\"$ ,

\

where $\"\"$ is vertex.

\

Focus $\"\"$ .

\

Axis of symmetry $\"\"$ .

\

Directrix $\"\"$ .

\

\

The parabola equation $\"\"$ .

\

Rewrite the equation as $\"\"$ .

\

Compare the above equation with $\"\"$ .

\

Since $\"\"$ , the parabola opens down.
