\

Parabola focus is at \"\" and vertex is \"\".

\

Since the \"\"-coordinates are equal, the parabola is horizontal.

\

Standard form of horizontal parabola is \"\".

\

Where \"\" is vertex.

\

If \"\" then the parabola opens to the left and \"\" parabola opens right.

\

Directrix is \"\" and focus at \"\".
