Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening right and left is:
the vertex form of a Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0),
the vertex form of a Parabola opening right(a>0) or left(a<0),
focus (-2,4) and directrix y = 0.
Parabola Opening Upward along x = -2: Directrix y = 0 below F(-2,4),

((4-0)/2 = 2 = k
C(-2,2)
a = 1/(4p) = 1/(4*2) = 1/8
