You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of the parabola with focus (2,3) and directrix y = -1
parabola opens upward
Its basic equation: (x-h)^3=4p(y-k), (h,k)=coordinates of the vertex
vertex: (2, 1)
axis of symmetry: x=2
p=2 (distance from vertex to directrix or focus on the axis of symmetry)
4p=8
equation: (x-2)^2=8(y-1)
