The distance between the directrix and the focus is 12 units. The vertex is in the middle at (1, -4).
Now, since the parabola opens in the positive y direction, it has equation \(\displaystyle (x-h)^{2}=4p(y-k)\)
Where (h,k) are the corrdinates of the vertex and p is the distance between the vertex and directrix or between the vertex and focus.
Finish?. Fill in h, k, p and solve for y.
