What is the focus, vertex, axis of symmetry and directrix of the parabola equation
y2-8y+16x-64=0
complete the square
(y^2-8y+16)+16x-64-16=0
(y-4)^2+16x-80=0
(y-4)^2=-16x+80
(y-4)^2=-16(x-5)
This is an equation for a parabola that open leftwards of the standard form: (y-k)^2=-4p(x-h), (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
For given parabola:
4p=16
p=4
vertex: (5,4)
axis of symmetry: y=4
focus: (1,4) (p units to left of vertex on axis of symmetry)
directrix: x=9 (p units to right of vertex on axis of symmetry)
