Answer:

  (0, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations tell you ...

  p = 16/4 = 4

Then the equation of the parabola is ...

  x^2 = -16y

It opens downward, so the focus is below the vertex. The distance between the vertex and the focus is p = 4, so the focus is (0, -4).

__

The attached graph shows the parabola, along with its focus and directrix.
