Understand that y=5 is one unit away from the vertex; so focus is also one unit away from the vertex but on the other side. Focus is at (1,3).
The distance between (x,y) and (1,3) is equal to the distance between (x,y) and (x,5). Use the distance formula and simplify into whichever form equation you want.
