Explanation:
Parabola is locus of a point which moves so that its distance from a given point calld focus and a given line ccalled directrix is always constant.
Let the point be
Hence equaion of parabola is
or
or
i.e.
Hence parabola's equation is
graph{((x-55)^2-184+4y)(y-47)((x-55)^2+(y-45)^2-0.1)=0 [35, 74.99, 35.02, 55.02]}
