Answer:

y=\frac{1}{6} (x-4)-\frac{9}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The quadratic equation form is :

y = [1/2(b - k)] (x - a)² + (b + k)/2

Where (a , b) is the focus and directrix y = k

∵ The focus is (4 , -3) and directix is y = -6

∵ y=\frac{1}{2(-3-(-6))} (x-4)^{2}+\frac{(-3)+(-6)}{2}

∴ y=\frac{1}{6} (x - 4)^{2}+\frac{-9}{2}

∴ y=\frac{1}{6} (x-4)-\frac{9}{2}

another way:

Assume that (x , y) is the general point on the parabola

∵ The distance between the directrix and (x , y) = the distance between the focus and (x , y)

By using the distance rule:

∵ (y - -6)² = (x - 4)² + (y - -3)² ⇒ (y + 6)² = (x - 4)² + (y + 3)

∴ y² + 12y + 36 = (x - 4)² + y² + 6y + 9

∴ 12y - 6y = (x - 4)² + 9 - 36

∴ 6y = (x - 4)² - 27 ⇒ ÷ 6

∴ y = 1/6 (x - 4)² - 9/2
