    How Do You Find the Vertex and Axis of Symmetry in a Parabola Equation?

    If I am given (y-2)2= 4 (x-3), how would I find the vertex, equation of the axis of symmetry, and the direction of the opening? I'm guessing that I have to use PF=PD, but it's confusing because it looks different from other things that I have done involving PF=PD. Thanks.
