Question 1105375: Find the equation of parabola, find the two points that defines the latus rectum and graph of the equation. Focus at(2,-5) vertex(2,-3) Answer by josgarithmetic(39625) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Those two mean that the directrix is y=-1, or the general point (x,-1). The parabola has a maximum point for its vertex. You can simply follow the formula for a derived parabola equation.
You already found that p=2 and you were given the vertex, so
