Directrix y = 1/6
Answer by MathLover1(20849)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! given:
the parabola that has its vertex at the origin => ( , )=( ,)
and that directrix 
The standard form is  , where the focus is (,  ) and the directrix is  . If the parabola is rotated so that its vertex is (,) and its axis of symmetry is parallel to the  -axis, it has an equation of  , where the focus is ( , ) and the directrix is  }
so. use
since directrix , the directrix is , and  , we have
 -> your answer
the focus is (, ) =(,  )
