Example 1:

2
(x-2) = 12 ((y – 1) find the
vertex, focus, directrix, axis of
symmetry,length of latus
rectum and its endpoints and
sktech the graph.
 2
We will use (x – h) = 4c (y – k) so
the parabola opens upward and it
follows c = 3 because
2
( x-2) = 4(3)(y – 1) with vertex
(2 , -1)

EXAMPLE 2: y - 4x +6y -11 this is a
General equation so convert it to
Standard form in order to graph it:
2
(y + 3) = 4 ( x + 5) with vertex
(-5, -3) the opening of the parabola
is left.
