Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form:
<em>(h, k)</em><em> - vertex</em>
The focus is
We have the vertex (2, -5) and the focus (2, -4).
Calculate the value of <em>a</em> using
<em>k = -5</em>
<em>add 5 to both sides</em>
<em>multiply both sides by 4</em>
Substitute
to the vertex form of an equation of a parabola:
The standard form:
Convert using
<em>use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac</em>
