Answer

$(y-3)^2=-\frac{1}{5}(x-2)$

Work Step by Step

1. Based on the given information, start from the standard equation $(y-k)^2=-4p(x-h)$ 2. Given the center at $(2,3)$, we have $h=2,k=3$ 3. Given point $(-18,1)$ on the curve, we have $(1-3)^2=-4p(-18-2)$, thus $p=\frac{1}{20}$ 4. Thus the equation is $(y-3)^2=-\frac{1}{5}(x-2)$
