Find the equation of the parabola with a focus (2, 5) and directrix of y = 3.

a.)
y=x^2/4 + x + 5

b.)
y=x^2/4 + x -5

c.)
y=x^2/4 -x - 5

d.)
y=x^2/4 - x + 5

One form of an equation is given by

The parabola is symmetric with respect to  

y=x

y=x

and can be viewed as a standard downward parabola with a rotation of 45 degrees clockwise. So, follow the steps below to obtain its equation.
