Parabola Problem

[stephensnoah1]

Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the following parabola:

y^2+12y+16x+68=0

The form we have been using is (y-k)^2=4p(x-h)

Thank you!!!

This generally requires Completing the Square. Go!

Hello Noah. The first step is completing the square in y. Did you do that part, yet?

Please see the Read Before Posting notice, also.
