The focus of the parabola is
.
The vertex of the parabola is
.
Since the
-coordinate of the focus and vertex are same, the parabola is vertical.
Standard form of the vertical parabola is
.
Where, Vertex :
,
Focus :
,
Axis of symmetry :
,
Directrix :
.
\
Vertex of the vertical parabola :
.
So,
and
.
Focus of the vertical parabola :
.

.
Since
, the parabola opens up.
Axis of symmetry :
,
Directrix :
.
\
Write the equation for the parabola in standard form using the values of
, and
.
Standard form of the vertical parabola is
.
Substitute the values of
,
, and
in standard form.

.
Therefore, the standard form of the equation is
.
\
Graph the vertex, focus, axis of symmetry, and directrix.
