y = -15x^2 , Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0),
C(0,0)
4p = (Note: |4p| being the length of the latus rectum)
p = = -1/60, F(0, -1/60), Directrix y = 1/60

........
y = 2x^2 , Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0),
C(0,0)
p = p = 1/8, F(0, 1/8), Directrix y = -1/8

............
x = -.2x^2 Parabola opening right(a>0) or left(a<0),
C(0,0)
p = = -1/.8 = -1.25 F(-1.25 , 0), Directrix x = 1.25
