Answer

Parabola vertex: (0,-4) focus: (0,-4+$\frac{1}{8}$) directrix: y+4=-$\frac{1}{8}$

Work Step by Step

4$x^{2}$=y+4 $x^{2}$=$\frac{y+4}{4}$ the equation is similar to $x^{2}$=4py then it is a parabola from the equation: p= $\frac{1}{8}$ Center or vertex= (0,-4) and directrix is y+4= - $\frac{1}{8}$
