Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The directrix of the parabola is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the parabola
In this problem the directrix is y=-3.5
so
The axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis
we have a vertical parabola
Also, the vertex is at the origin
That means-----> the parabola open upward
The equation of a vertical parabola can be written as
where
p is the distance between the vertex and the directrix
In this problem
the distance between the vertex and the directrix is 3.5
----> the value of p is positive because the parabola open upward
substitute
isolate the variable y
