Multiple Choice

An equation of a parabola $( y - k ) ^ { 2 } = 4 p ( x - h )$ is given. Graph the parabola. Write the equation for the directrix and axis of symmetry.
- $$( y - 1 ) ^ { 2 } = 12 ( x - 2 )$$

A) directrix: $x = - 1$ ;
axis of symmetry: $y = 1$

B) directrix: $y = - 4$ ;
axis of symmetry: $x = - 2$

C) directrix: $y = - 2$ ;
axis of symmetry: $x = 2$

D) directrix: $x = - 5$ ;
axis of symmetry: $y = - 1$
