Answer

$(x+1)^2=4(y-2)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the parabola: Vertex: $(-1,2)$ Focus: $(-1,3)$ As the focus and the vertex have the same $x$-coordinate, the parabola is vertical. Its standard equation is: $(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)$ Determine $h,k$ using the vertex: $(h,k)=(-1,2)$ $h=-1$ $k=2$ Determine $p$ using the focus: $(h,k+p)=(-1,3)$ $k+p=3$ $2+p=3$ $p=1$ The parabola's equation is: $(x+1)^2=4(1)(y-2)$ $(x+1)^2=4(y-2)$
