The sketch of the parabola is attached below
We have the focus
The point
The directrix, c at
The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows
Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates;
and 
.
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix
. It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as 
Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y --->Mala's age
x---> sister's age
we know that
---> equation A
so
The sum of ages of the sisters is
substitute equation A in the expression of the sum of ages
simplify
