What is the equation of a quadratic graph with a focus of (8,-8) and directrix of y=-6

Check the picture below

so hmmm the left-side of the picture, is the focus point and the directrix, notice, the directrix is a horizontal line, that means the parabola is a vertically opening one.

also notice, the focus point is below the directrix, that means the parabola opens downwards

now, the vertex is "p" distance from either the directrix and the focus point, so that means, the vertex is half-way between those two fellows, if you notice the right-side of the picture, that's where the vertex is at.

the distance "p" is clearly just 1unit, however, since the parabola is opening downwards, "p" is negative, thus -1

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
