Finding Equation of Axis Aligned Parabolas from given Focal Length and Vertex
Given Coordinates of Vertex and a Signed Focal Length, it is possible to find Equations of 2 Axis Aligned Parabolass,
one having Directrix Parallel to \(X\)-Axis, and other having Directrix Parallel to \(Y\)-Axis.
Given Vertex at a point \((x_v,y_v)\) and a Signed Focal Length \(f\), the Standard Coordinate Equations for Axis Aligned Parabolas are given as
\({(x-x_v)}^2=4f(y-y_v)\) (For Directrix Parallel to \(X\)-Axis)
\({(y-y_v)}^2=4f(x-x_v)\) (For Directrix Parallel to \(Y\)-Axis)
