Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with the given characteristics. Focus: (0, 0); directrix: y = 2

Answer 1

Focus is (0,0), directrix y = 2. This is a downward parabola with vertex (0,1) (vertex is 1/2 way between focus and directrix.

Form is 4p(y-k) = -(x-h)² where p, the focal length is 1 and (h,k) is (0,1)
