Check the picture below.  So the parabola looks more or less like so.

let's recall that the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, at "p" units away from both.

Let's notice that the focus point is below the directrix, that means the parabola is vertical, namely the squared variable is the "x", and it also means that it's opening downwards as  you see in the picture, namely that "p" is negative, in this case "p" is 1 unit, and thus is -1.

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \\\\ \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2} \end{array} \qquad \begin{array}{llll} vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} h=-2\\ k=5\\ p=-1 \end{cases}\implies 4(-1)(y-5)=[x-(-2)]^2\implies -4(y-5)=(x+2)^2 \\\\\\ y-5=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)^2\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)^2+5

Remember the Order of Operations:

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtract

*But always solve from left to right so there can be times where you either have to do division before multiplication or subtraction before addition
