Question 443965
the vertex is midway between the focus and the directrix ___ in this case, (3,3)


the general vertex form is ___ y = a(x - h)^2 + k ___ where (h,k) is the vertex 


a is equal to ___ 1 / (4p) ___ where p is half the distance from the directrix to the focus
___ the sign of a is determined by the direction FROM the directrix TO the focus


your equation is ___ y = (1/4)(x - 3)^2 + 3


starting with the vertex, and working in both directions
___ plug in values for x
___ calculate the corresponding y values
___ plot the points
