Answer:
y = -1/4(x +4)² +4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola with focus (a, b) and directrix y=d can be written using the form ...
y = 1/(2(b-d))(x -a)² +(b+d)/2
Application
We are given (a, b) = (-4, 3) and d=5. Using these values in the above form gives the equation ...
y = 1/(2(3-5))(x -(-4))² +(3+5)/2
y = -1/4(x +4)² +4
