This one is similar to the other ones I did for you except that y and x are interchanged, h and k are interchanged, graphs opening right and left are changed to opening up and down.has vertex (h,k), and distance from vertex to both focus and directrix is |p|. If p is positive the parabola opens upward with the horizontal directrix is |p| units below the vertex and the focus is |p| units above the vertex. has vertex (0,0), and distance from vertex to both focus and directrix is |18/4| or 9/2. Since 9/2 is positive the parabola opens upward with the vertical directrix 9/2 units below the vertex and the focus is 9/2 above the vertex. So the focus is 9/2 units above vertex (0,0) which is (0,9/2), and the directrix is a horizontal line 9/2 units below the vertex (0,0) which is the horizontal line y = -9/2 Edwin
