Based on the calculations, the equation of this parabola is equal to (x - 6)² = 16(y + 4).
How to determine the equation of this parabola?
Mathematically, the standard equation with the vertex for a parabola is given by:
(y - k)² = 4a(x - h) for horizontal parabola.
(x - h)² = 4a(y - k) for vertical parabola.
where:
By critically observing the points, we can deduce that both the focus and vertex lie on the same vertical line x = 6.
Given the following data:
Focus with points = (6, 2).
Vertex (h, k) = (6, –4).
Note: a = 2 - (-4) = 2 + 4 = 6.
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
(x - 6)² = 4 × 4(y - (-4))
(x - 6)² = 16(y + 4).
