A parabola comparable to , but the vertex is at (3,2).

A standard derivation would typically be in which p is the distance from vertex to directrix and from vertex to focus point. In your example, , so .

To finish, center is (3,2), focus is at (3.25,2) and directrix at . The parabola opens toward the right.

Graphing relies on finding two functions:

and combine with .
