Explanation Graph: Consider the given equation, y 2 − 4 x = 0 y 2 = 4 x Now, draw the graph of the given equation y 2 = 4 x as, From the above graph, it is clear that the given equation is for the parabola. The equation for a parabola can also be written as, y 2 = 4 x Generally, the equation for a parabola is in the form of y 2 = 4 p x Now, compare the given equation for the parabola with the general equation for the parabola, to find out the value of p , p = 1 Hence, the value of p is 1
