How to find vertex, focus and directrix of a horizontal parabola in standard form

The video tutorial guides students through the process of identifying the vertex of a parabola by transforming equations into a familiar format. It covers the types of equations, how to find H, K, and P values, and the importance of graphing to understand the focus and directrix. The teacher emphasizes the need to write down the process and provides a step-by-step approach to solving a problem, encouraging students to think critically and visually.
