Detailed Solution

Given the ends of the latursrectum are L-3,1,L'1,1

Since y- coordinates of the latusrecturm are equal so axis is parallel to y-axis then the equation of the parabola can be taken as x-h2=4ay-k

The length of the latusrectum is 4 units, it implies that 4a=4

The focus is midpoint of LL'

Hence, S-1,1

Hence the equation of the required parabola is x+12=4y-k

It is passing through the point 1,1

4=41-kk=0

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is (x+1)2=4y
