what is the conic section of
20x = 4y^2
y^2=5x
This is an equation of a parabola that open rightwards with vertex at the origin (0,0)
Its standard form: %28y-k%29%5E2=4p%28x-h%29, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
axis of symmetry: y=0 or x-axis
p=distance from the origin to the focus or directrix on the axis of symmetry
