so h = 7, k = -2, meaning the vertex is at (7, -2).
the squared variable is the "y", meaning is a horizontal parabola.
the "p" distance is negative, for a horizontal parabola that means, it's opening towards the left-hand-side.
we know the focus and directrix are "p" units away from the vertex, and we know the parabola is opening horizontally towards the left-hand-side.
the focus is towards it opens 1 unit away, at (6, -2).
the directrix is on the opposite direction, 1 unit away, at (8, -2), namely x = 8.
