Answer

The equation of the parabola is $$ y^{2}-4y-8x+4=0 $$

Work Step by Step

Given Focus$ (2,2)$, Directrix $x=-2$ From the coordinates of the focus and Directix equation, we find the axis of the parabola is parallel to the $x-$ axis, opens rightward, and the vertex is $(0,2)$ and $p=2$ So, the general equation of the parabola is $$ (y-k)^{2}=4 p(x-h) $$ So $(h,k)=(0,2)$ And $$ (y-2)^{2}=4 (2)(x-0) $$ so we get $$ y^{2}-4y-8x+4=0 $$
