The line is called the directrix.  Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.

Geometry is best done with squared distances.  The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is (x-2)^2.

We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0): 

(x-2)^2 = (x - -2)^2 + (y - 0)^2

x^2 -4x + 4=x^2 +4x +4 + y^2

-8x = y^2

We could call that done.  A more standard form might be

x =- \dfrac 1 8 \ y^2

v = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

v = u + at ← substitute u = 2, a = - 5, t = 1 into the expression

v = 2 + (- 5 × 1) = 2 + (- 5) = 2 - 5 = - 3
