The given equation is y2 = 10x.
Here, the coefficient of x is positive. Hence, the parabola opens towards the right.
On comparing this equation with y2 = 4ax, we obtain
4a =10 ⇒a =5/2
∴Coordinates of the focus = (a, 0)=(5/2,0)
Since the given equation involves y2, the axis of the parabola is the x-axis.
Equation of directrix, x = -a,i.c.,x = -5/2
Length of latus rectum = 4a = 10
