The equation is about in the perfect form to answer those data questions.

, the same thing.
This is of a form, .

You should study the derivation of a general parabola equation for stated given directrix and focus, which you will find in these, as well as your textbook:
'
Deriving equation for parabola given focus and directrix
'
Same thing but differently oriented, and vertex not at the origin

Watch the signs very carefully in your work.
