Write an equation of a parabola with a vertex at the origin and the given focus
focus at (6,0)
***
Data shows this is an equation of a parabola that opens rightward
Its basic equation: y^2=4px
vertex: (0,0)
axis of symmetry: y=0
p=6 (distance from vertex to focus on the axis of symmetry)
4p=24
equation: y^2=24x
