Answer

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Focus: }}\left( {7, - 1} \right) \cr & {\text{directrix: }}y = - 9 \cr & {\text{axis of symmetry: }}x = 7 \cr} $$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\left( {x - 7} \right)^2} = 16\left( {y + 5} \right) \cr & {\text{This equation is written in the form }}{\left( {x - h} \right)^2} = 4p\left( {y - k} \right){\text{ }} \cr & {\text{represents Parabola with horizontal axis of symmetry}} \cr & {\text{of Symmetry and Vertex }}\left( {h,k} \right). \cr & \underbrace {{{\left( {x - 7} \right)}^2} = 16\left( {y + 5} \right)}_{{{\left( {x - h} \right)}^2} = 4p\left( {y - k} \right){\text{ }}} \cr & {\text{Let }}k = - 5,\,\,\,\,h = 7 \cr & 4p = 16 \cr & p = 4 \cr & {\text{Focus}}\left( {h,p + k} \right){\text{ and directrix }}y = - p + k \cr & {\text{Axis of symmetry }}x = h \cr & {\text{Focus: }}\left( {7,4 - 5} \right) \cr & {\text{Focus: }}\left( {7, - 1} \right) \cr & {\text{directrix: }}y = - 4 - 5 \cr & {\text{directrix: }}y = - 9 \cr & {\text{axis of symmetry: }}x = 7 \cr & \cr & {\text{Focus: }}\left( {7, - 1} \right) \cr & {\text{directrix: }}y = - 9 \cr & {\text{axis of symmetry: }}x = 7 \cr} $$
