Answer:[tex](x-5)^2=-20(y-4)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Vertex of parabola is [tex](5,4)[/tex]

and directrix is [tex]y=9[/tex]

as directrix is above vertex so it downward facing parabola

Distance between directrix and parabola is

[tex]\mid 9-4\mid=5[/tex]

so value of [tex]a=5[/tex]

Equation of parabola is

[tex](x-5)^2=-4a(y-4)[/tex]

[tex](x-5)^2=-4(5)(y-4)[/tex]

[tex](x-5)^2=-20(y-4)[/tex]
