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 at (-1, 0) and its directrix at x = 1 Opening Left along y =0
the vertex form of a Parabola opening left(a<0),
p = -1 (1 -1))/2 = 0 = h
a = 1/(4p) = 1/4(-1) = -1/4
