Write the equation of the parabola for conic sections given vertex and focus (mistake)

The video tutorial explains how to write the equation of a parabola given its vertex and focus. It begins by identifying whether the axis of symmetry is horizontal or vertical based on the vertex and focus positions. The tutorial then formulates the parabola equation using these points and calculates the value of P, the distance from the vertex to the focus. Finally, it demonstrates how to convert the equation into standard form.
