You asked:

Investigate the equation: \({y}^{2} - 4 y + 12 x - 20 = 0\).

MathBot Answer:

The graph of the equation \({y}^{2} - 4 y + 12 x - 20 = 0\) is a parabola.


The coordinates of its vertex are: \(\left(2, 2\right)\)

The coordinates of its focus are: \(\left(-1, 2\right)\)

The directrix has equation: \(- \frac{x}{3} + \frac{5}{3} = 0\).

The parabola has parameterization: \[\begin{aligned}x\left(\theta\right) &= 2 - \frac{\theta^{2}}{12}\\y\left(\theta\right) &= 2 + \theta\end{aligned}\]
