General equation of parabola is :-
But in the question , equation of parabola is given as :-
y² = 16x..... (2)
Now by comparing (1) and (2) :-
Coordinates of vertex of given parabola :- (0,0)
coordinates of Focus :- (4,0)
Now , we have to find out distance between point (4,0) and P(4 , -8).
Focal distance of the point P(4 , -8) on the parabola y² = 16x = 8 units
