What is an equation of a parabola with the given vertex and focus?
vertex: (-2,5)
focus: (-2,6)
***
This is a parabola that opens up
Its basic form of equation: (x-h)^2=4p(y-k), (h,k)=coordinates of vertex
For given parabola:
axis of symmetry: x=-2
p=1 (distance from vertex to focus on the axis of symmetry)
4p=4
equation: (x+2)^2=4(y-5)
