something noteworthy is that the squared variable is the "x", thus the parabola is a vertical one, the "p" value is negative, so is opening downwards, and the h,k is pretty much the origin,
vertex is at (0,0)
the focus point is "p" or 5 units down from there, namely at (0, -5)
the directrix is "p" units on the opposite direction, up, namely at y = 5
the focal width, well, |4p| is pretty much the focal width, in this case, is simply yeap, you guessed it, 20.
