Question 618495
Hint:
Convert your equation in form: (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)

where 

(h,k) is the vertex
(h, k + p) is the focus
y = k - p is the directrix
x = h is the axis of symmetry

I'll help you to convert it:
x^2 - 2x + 8y +9 = 0
x^2 - 2x + 1 = -8y - 8
(x - 1)^2 = -8( y + 1)

You can follow up from here. Good luck:)
