Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. rewrite the equation in standard form:
2. find (h,k), the vertex. the vertex is
3. find the 'focal length' of the parabola - the focal length is the distance between the vertex and the focus. from the vertex we can see that the focal length, p, = 3/2
4. Parabola is symmetric around the y-axis and so the asymptote is a line parallel to the x-axis, a distance p from the y coordinate which is at . Set up the equation:
5. substitute and solve:
