What is the standard equation form of a parabola with a vertex of (4,3) and focus of (6,3)

Answer 1

Focus is above vertex, so parabola is opening upwards.

Distance between vertex and focus is 2, which is -p, so p = -2.

Since this is a vertical graph the equation will be of the form (x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k), where (h,k) is the vertex (4,3),

so the equation is:

(x-4)^2 = -8(y-3)
