Directrix y = 1/6

Answer by MathLover1(20849) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
given:
the parabola that has its vertex at the origin => (,)=(,)
and that directrix
The standard form is , where the focus is (, ) and the directrix is . If the parabola is rotated so that its vertex is (,) and its axis of symmetry is parallel to the -axis, it has an equation of , where the focus is (, ) and the directrix is }
so. use

since directrix , the directrix is , and , we have

-> your answer

the focus is (, ) =(, )
