    For

    (x-h) ^2=4p (y-k)

    vertex = (h, k)

    p=vertical distance from vertex to directix

    when p is negative, the directix is above the vertex

    when p is positive, the directix is below the vertex

    (x-2) ^2=1/4 (y+3)

    (x-2) ^2=4 (1/16) (y+3)

    p=1/16

    it's positive so we know directix is below vertex

    vertex is (2,-3)

    go 1/16 down

    -3-1/16=-48/16-1/16=-49/16

    directix is y=-49/16 aka y=-3.0625
