If the reflection of the parabola is taken about the x-axis then the upward parabola becomes a downward parabola. Then the equation becomes y = -(x + 3)².
It's the locus of a moving point that keeps the same distance between a stationary point and a specified line. The focus is a non-movable point, while the directrix is a non-movable line.
The function is given below.
y = (x + 3)²
The vertex of the upward parabola is at (-3, 0).
