Vertex is (0,0), the Origin.

Compare to .
p is the distance from vertex to either focus or directrix. Your parabola is horizontal and the vertex is on the left for minimum x value, and focus is to the right of the vertex.

The focus is at ( 3/4, 0).

Endpoints of Latus Rectum:

The focus is ON the x-axis;
Latus Rectum is from the upper y-value to the lower y-value at the focus.

Study your book's lesson on this and related, and also study derive equation for parabola of given focus and directrix and same thing, different orientation, but vertex NOT at Origin
