Vertex= (0,2) epicentre=(3,2) What is the name and equation of this conic?

Can i use this formula (y-B)*2 = 4a(x-A) { Here A,B is the value of vertex }

Could be an ellipse depending on if there are co-vertices. I'm not sure what you mean by the "epicenter", maybe the focus if it's a parabola?

It is clearly a parabola since the equation is of the standard form $$y^2=4ax$$ The curve has been translated so that instead of the vertex being at the origin, it is now at $(A,B)$.
