You can put this solution on YOUR website! (5,2) distance from (3,2) is 2 units. Directrix x=7.
Symmetry axis, y=2. Concave to the left.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with vertex at (5,2) and focus at (3,2).
Since the focus: (3, 2) is to the LEFT of the VERTEX (5, 2), this is a PARABOLA with a HORIZONTAL AXIS of SYMMETRY.
Therefore, the CONIC form of the PARABOLA with a HORIZONTAL AXIS, or is used.
