given:
Vertex at ( , ) => and 
focus at ( ,)
noticed that focus and vertex lie on the same horizontal line 
parabola open to the right and the standard equation is:
Distance from vertex to focus is 
Parts of the Parabola
1. Vertex is at (,)
2. Focus is at (,)
3. Directrix: 
4. Axis of Symmetry: 
5.
use (,), E1, E1 will be where a line  intersect parabola
 ...plug in
 or 
 or 
 or 
E1=(, ), E1=(, )
6. Length of E1, E2 is distance between (,) and (,), and it is
