Here is the graph of the parabola $(x - 2)^2 = -8(y - 3)$. The key elements shown are:

• Vertex at $(2, 3)$ (in red).
• Focus at $(2, 1)$ (in blue).
• Directrix at $y = 5$ (green dashed line).
• Axis of symmetry at $x = 2$ (purple dashed line).
• The parabola opens downward.

Let me know if you'd like any more details!

Further exploration questions:

1. How does the value of $p$ affect the shape of a parabola?
2. What happens to the focus and directrix if the parabola opens to the left or right?
3. Can you derive the equation of a parabola if only its vertex and focus are given?
4. How do the latus rectum and axis of symmetry change for horizontal parabolas?
5. What are the real-world applications of parabolas in physics and engineering?

Tip: The distance between the vertex and focus always equals the distance between the vertex and directrix.
