The equation of a parabola
with vertex (0, 0) and focus on
the y-axis is x2 = 4py.
The coordinates of the focus are (0, p).
The equation of the directrix is y = -p.
If p > 0, the parabola opens up.
If p < 0, the parabola opens
down.

PARABOLA
The equation of a parabola
with vertex (0, 0) and focus on
the x-axis is y2 = 4px.
The coordinates of the focus are (p, 0).
The equation of the directrix is x = -p.
If p > 0, the parabola opens right.
If p < 0, the parabola opens left.
Finding the Equation of a
A parabola has
vertex Vertex
(0, 0) and the(0,
focus 0)
on an axis.
Parabola
with
Write the equation of each parabola.
a) The focus is (-6, 0).
Since the focus is (-6, 0), the equation of the parabola is y2 = 4px.
p is equal to the distance from the vertex to the focus, therefore p = -6.
The equation of the parabola is y2
= -24x.
b) The directrix is defined by x = 5.
Since the focus is on the x-axis, the equation of the parabola is y2 = 4px.
The equation of the directrix is x = -p, therefore -p = 5 or p = -5.
The equation of the parabola is y2 = -20x.
c) The focus is (0, 3).
Since the focus is (0, 3), the equation of the parabola is x2 = 4py.
p is equal to the distance from the vertex to the focus, therefore p = 3.
The equation of the parabola is x2 = 12y.

Horizontal Axis, directrix: x = h-p
• The equation of the
axis of symmetry is y = k.
• The coordinates of the
focus are (h + p, k).
• The equation of the
directrix is x = h - p.
Ex: Write the equation of the parabola with a focus at (3, 5) and
the directrix at x = 9, in standard form and general form.
The distance from the focus to the directrix is 6 units, therefore, 2p
= -6, p = -3. Thus, the vertex is (6, 5).
The axis of symmetry is parallel to the x-axis:
(y - k)2 = 4p(x - h)
h = 6 and k = 5
(y - 5)2 = 4(-3)(x - 6)
(y - 5)2 = -12(x - 6)

Vertical Axis, directrix: y = k-p
• The equation of the
axis of symmetry is x = h.
• The coordinates of the focus
are (h, k + p).
• The equation of the
directrix is y = k - p.
The general form of the parabola
is Ax2 + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
where A = 0 or C = 0.
Find the equation of the parabola that has a
min at (-2, 6) and passes through the point (2, 8).
The axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis.
The vertex is (-2, 6), therefore, h = -2 and k = 6.
Substitute into the standard form of the equation
and solve for p:
(x - h)2 = 4p(y - k)
x = 2 and y = 8
(2 - (-2))2 = 4p(8 - 6)
16 = 8p
2=p
(x - h)2 = 4p(y - k)
(x - (-2))2 = 4(2)(y - 6)
(x + 2)2 = 8(y - 6)
