What is the standard form of a parabola with vertex at (-5,1) and focus at (2,1) ?
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "Standard form of equation for a parabola which opens rightward: (y-k)^2=4p(x-h), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "For given parabola:
\n" ); document.write( "vertex: (-5,1) (given)
\n" ); document.write( "axis of symmetry: y=1
\n" ); document.write( "p=7 (distance from the vertex to the focus on the axis of symmetry)
\n" ); document.write( "4p=28
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(y-1)^2=28(x+5) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
