i think this is correct
C
A line with undefined slope is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis, passing through all points with the same x-coordinate.
For this reason it's equation is x = c
where c is the value of the x-coordinate the line passes through
For (- 3, 5 ) the x-coordinate is - 3, hence
x = - 3 → is the equation of the line
draw a perpendicular line from the directrix passing through the focus, this will be the line of symmetry.
The vertex(h, k) will be located on the line half way between the focus and directrix.
The distance from the focus to the vertex is called the focal length, call it a. The then equation is
(x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k)
the equation can be manipulated to
y = 1/4a(x - h)^2 + k
hope it helps
