Correct>?
if a certain parabola has its vertex at (2,-1) and its focus at (2,1), write its equation and graph.
(h,k) = (2,-1)
h = 2 k = -1
focus (h,k + p) is (2,1) so k + p = 1
k = -1 p = 2
y - k = 1/4p( x - h)^2 < equation
y - (-1) = 1/4(2) (x - (2))^2 < substituted
y = 1/8 ( x - 2)^2 - 1 < solved
