SOLUTION: write the equation of the conic section using the information given. focus is at (-3,6) distance from focus to directrixis 8 units and the graph has a minimum

Question 720274: write the equation of the conic section using the information given.
focus is at (-3,6) distance from focus to directrixis 8 units and the graph has a minimum

That could describe a parabola, with vertex halfway between y=6-8 and the point (-3,6). You can then use standard form to write the appropriate equation. Note, "a" can be any POSITIVE real number.

You know how standard form works? If so, no trouble seeing and .
