given:
vertex at (, )=>,
and focus at (,).
Since the values are the same, use the equation of a parabola that opens left or right.


-> disance from the focus to the vertex is and in your case


your equation is:


E1, E2 lie on intersection of a line with parabola



or
E1 is at (, )
E2 is at (, )
1. Vertex: (, )
2. Focus:(, )
3. Directrix:
4. Axis of Symmetry: y axis
5. E1, E2
E1 is at (, )
E2 is at (, )
6. Length of E1, E2:
