| Question 41072:  Find the vertex, focus and directix of the graph of the equation:
 12(y+3)=(x-1)^2
 Answer by stanbon(75887)
      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 12(y+3)=(x-1)^2 This follows the form 4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2
 p=3,k=-3,h=1
 Vertex is at (h,k) = (1,-3)
 The parabola opens up so the focus is 3 above the vertex.
 Focus is at (1,0)
 The directrix is the y-line 3 below the vertex.
 Directrix is y=-6
