In this video, we learn how to find the equation of a parabola with a vertex located outside of the origin. First, we recall that the parabola always opens to the right due to the fact that the focal point is always located to the right of the vertex. Next, we sketch out the parabola using a horizontal coordinate system. We then need to use a formula we learned earlier to find the coordinates of the vertex, which are (h, k). The vertex is located at (h, k), which means that h = k and that a = c-h. We then need to substitute these values into the equation of the parabola, which results in the following equation: a horizontal equation with the following structure: -(x-h)^2 = 4(a-k) - (y-k)^2. This is the equation we will use to find the distance between the vertex and the focus. Finally, we return to our original sketch and find all of the points that satisfy our equation.
