Answer

Vertex: $\quad (0,0)$ Focus: $\quad (-4,0)$ Directrix: $\quad x=4$

Work Step by Step

One variable is squared, the other is not: parabola. $y^{2}=-4(4)x$ Table 1: $\begin{array}{lll} {\text { Vertex }}&{\text{Focus}}&{\text{Directrix}}&{\text{Equation}}\\\hline {(0,0)}&{(-a,0)}&{x=a}&{y^{2}=-4ax}\end{array}$ $a=4$ Vertex: $\quad (0,0)$ Focus: $\quad (-4,0)$ Directrix: $\quad x=4$
