write an equation of the parabola with the given characterists
focus: (0,-4) directrix: y =4
---
Plot the focus at (0,-4)
Sketch the directrix at y = 4
----
The vertex is half-way between the line and the fucus
Vertex at (0,0)
p = 2
----
Vertex form:: (x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)
x^2 = 8y
----
Ans: y = (1/8)x^2
