Hi, 

Graph 

(y+2)^2=4(1)(x-1)

To 'sketch' the graph, the relationship between x and y described tells us:

   I.  Parabola opening to the right

  II. Vertex is (1,-2)

 III. Focal Point is ((1+1),-2)or (2,-2)and focal chord width = 4   ||  4p+=+4 & p = 1

  IV. Directrix is x = 0  and Line of symmetry is y = -2
