You have an unknown set of points (x,y) and each of these points is equidistant from (-12,0) as from (12,0). Use the distance formula to arrange this statement or description in symbolic form and then simplify.

The vertex is (0,0). The equation is in standard form, and the typical vertex (h,k) is according to h=0 and k=0.
