According to the vertex and the directrix of the given parabola, the equation is:

y = \frac{3}{4}(x - 1)^2 + 4

<h3>What is the equation of a parabola given it’s vertex?</h3>

The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h,k), is given by:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

In which a is the leading coefficient.

The directrix is at y = k + 4a.

In this problem, the vertex is (1,4), hence:

h = 1, k = 4

The directrix is at y = 7, hence:

4 + 4a = 7

a = \frac{3}{4}

Hence, the equation is:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

y = \frac{3}{4}(x - 1)^2 + 4
