You can put this solution on YOUR website! y^2-8x=0,,,,we assume this is problem,,,please check
.
y^2 =8x,,,,this is a x parabola, opening to right.
.
basic form is,,,,,y^2 =4px
.
fitting to our problem,,,,4p = 8,,,,,p=2
.
Directrix is at x=-p or x=-2
.
focus is at (p,0) or (2,0)
.
vertex is at (0,0),,,,,{(y-k)^2 =4p(x-h) },,,therefore h=k=0
.
