Graph the equation of an parabola with a horizontal axis of symmetry

This video tutorial explains how to graph a parabola using conic sections. It covers identifying the type of equation, determining the axis of symmetry, and using the equation y - k^2 = 4p(x - h) to find the vertex, focus, and directrix. The tutorial demonstrates solving for y, identifying the vertex at the origin, and calculating the distance to the focus and directrix. The lesson concludes with graphing the parabola and summarizing the key points.
