Since we known that in the coordinate system xOy if parabol has the focus F(p/2;0)then its equation is y^2 =2px and its vertex is O(0,0).Therefore, Put X=x−1,Y=y+2.Then in the coordinate system XOY Parabol have the focus is F(−2,0)with its vertex is (0,0). Therefore,in the coordinate system XOYparabol have the equation is Y^2 =−8X⇒−8(x−1)=(y+2)^2 Thus,the equation of the parabol we need find is −8(x−1)=(y+2)^2

The line connecting the vertex and the focus is the axis and has equation y=−2 .The directrix is the line orthogonal to the axis, with a distance from the vertex equal to the distance between vertex and focus. (√((x+1)^2 +(y+2)^2 )) = ∣x−3∣ (x+1)^2 +(y+2)^2 = (x−3)^2 ⇔(y+2)^2 = (x−3)^2 −(x+1)^2 ⇔(y+2)^2 = (2x−2)(−4) ⇔(y+2)^2 = −8(x−1)
