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

{(-2, 6), (-5, -1), (3, 7), (-5, 0)}<br> Domain:<br> Range:<br> Function?
just olya [345]

{(-2, 6), (-5, -1), (3, 7), (-5, 0)}

Domain: The domain is all the x-values (-2, -5, 3, -5)

Range: The range is all the y-values (6, -1, 7, 0)

Function: It's not a function because of the x-value -5 is repeating.
