Standard form: (y-5)^2 = 4*27/4(x-4) (y5)2=4274(x4)
Vertex is at ( 4,5) , Focus is at (43/4), 5(434),5. directrix is y = -11/7y=117

Explanation:

y^2-10y-27x+133=0 or y^2-10y+25-25-27x+133=0 y210y27x+133=0ory210y+252527x+133=0 or
(y-5)^2 =27x -108 or (y-5)^2 = 27(x-4)(y5)2=27x108or(y5)2=27(x4) or
(y-5)^2 = 4*27/4(x-4) (y5)2=4274(x4)
Comparing with standard equation (y-k)^2 = 4*a(x-h); (h,k) (yk)2=4a(xh);(h,k) being vertex. we get here h = 4 , k = 5 , a= 27/4h=4,k=5,a=274

Vertex is at ( 4,5) , Focus is at ((h+a),k) or (4 + 27/4), 5 or (43/4,5)((h+a),k)or(4+274),5or(434,5).

Vertex is equidistant from focus and directrix.

So directrix is y= (h-a) = 4-27/4 or y = -11/7y=(ha)=4274ory=117

Vertex is (4,5)(4,5) and focus is (43/4,5)(434,5) and axis of symmetry is x=-11/4x=114.

Explanation:

Standard form of equation of parabola is y=ax^2+bx+cy=ax2+bx+c or x=ay^+by+cx=ay+by+c. Asin the given equation, we have y^2y2, we can write y^2-10y-27x+133=0y210y27x+133=0 as

27x=y^2-10y+13327x=y210y+133 and in standard form it is

x=1/27y^2-10/27y+133/27x=127y21027y+13327

Vertex form of equation of paarbola is y=a(x-h)^2+ky=a(xh)2+k or x=(y-k)^2+hx=(yk)2+h, where x=hx=h or y=ky=k is axis of symmetry (focus and vertex lie on this and directrix is perpendicular to it) and vertex is (h,k)(h,k).

In the equation y=a(x-h)^2+ky=a(xh)2+k, focus is (h,k+1/(4a))(h,k+14a) and directrix is y=k-1/(4a)y=k14a. In case equation is x=(y-k)^2+hx=(yk)2+h, focus is (h+1/(4a),k)(h+14a,k) and directrix is x=h-1/(4a)x=h14a.

27x=y^2-10y+133=y^2-2xx5xxy+25-25+13327x=y210y+133=y22×5×y+2525+133

27x=(y-5)^2+10827x=(y5)2+108 or x=1/27(y-5)^2+4x=127(y5)2+4

This is the vertex form of this equation and vertex is (4,5)(4,5). As we have a=1/27a=127, 1/(4a)=27/414a=274 and focus is (4+27/4,5)(4+274,5) i.e. (43/4,5)(434,5) and axis of symmetry is x=4-27/4=-11/4x=4274=114.
