How to find the focus of a parabola

1.5k Views Asked by At

To find the center of a circle, it's enough to choose three points on the circle and find the circumcenter of a triangle with those three points.

When a parabola is drawn and the formula is not given, how can I find its focus?

I add an example.

Can you find the center, vertex, axis, or directrix of the parabola?

A parabola was drawn.
