    Conic Sections
    I need a bit of help solving the following conic section problems:
    Write an equation of a parabola with the given info:
    1) Vertex = (1, 2) Focus = (-1, 2)
    2) Vertex = (2, 5) Focus = (2, 6)
    Find the vertex, focus and directrix of each parabola:
    3) y = 1/20 x ^ 2
    4) x = y ^ 2 - 8y + 11
    What are the foci, vertices and asymptote slope of the equations:
    5) x ^ 2/16 + y ^ 2/ 9 = 1
    6) 4x ^ 2 - y ^ 2 = 4
    Write the equation of a hyperbola with the given info:
    7) Vertices = (0, *plus or minus* 6) Foci = (0, *Plus or minus* 8)
    8) Vertices = (*Plus or minus* 1, 3) Foci = (*Plus or minus* 3, 3)
    Identify the conic section:
    9) x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 6x - 8y + 16 = 0
    10) x ^ 2 - y + 6x + 8 = 0
    11) 4x ^ 2 + 9y ^ 2 - 24x - 36y + 36 = 0
    12) 4x ^ 2 - y ^ 2 + 24x - 6y + 23 = 0
    What is the major axis of:
    13) 16x ^ 2 + 4y ^ 2 = 64
    If you could help with all those, that would be AWESOME! :D

    Identify the conic section:
    9) x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 6x - 8y + 16 = 0 ----> circle with centre(3,4), radius = sqrt(84)
    10) x ^ 2 - y + 6x + 8 = 0 -------------> parabola
    11) 4x ^ 2 + 9y ^ 2 - 24x - 36y + 36 = 0 -----------> hyperbola, vertex at(3.2), symmetric to x-axis

    12) 4x ^ 2 - y ^ 2 + 24x - 6y + 23 = 0 -------------->Hyperbola, symmetric to x-axis, vertex at (-3,-3)

    Find the vertex, focus and directrix of each parabola:
    3) y = 1/20 x ^ 2
    Focus(0,5)
    Directrix: y +5 =0
    Vertex (0,0)

    4) x = y ^ 2 - 8y + 11

    Focus(1/4,0)
    Directrix: x+1/4 =0
    Vertex (5,4)

    What are the foci, vertices and asymptote slope of the equations:
    5) x ^ 2/16 + y ^ 2/ 9 = 1
    Foci (sqrt(7), 0)
    Vertices (0,0)

    6) 4x ^ 2 - y ^ 2 = 4
    Foci(sqrt(17),0)
    Vertices (0,0)
