Identify the focus and directrix of the parabola whose equation is (y-4)^2 = -12(x-7)
2 answers:
Answer : Focus (4,4) , directrix x=10
Given equation is
The given equation is in the form of
Where vertex is (h,k)
h = 7 and k = 4 so vertex is (7,4)
4p = -12 so p = -3
Focus is (h+p, k)
h=7, k=4 and p = -3
focus is (7-3, 4) that is (4,4)
now we find directrix
Directrix x= h-p
So x= 7-(-3)= 10
Focus (4,4) , directrix x=10

The graph of the relation between x and y is as shown in attached figure
By applying the vertical line test we find that the relation is not a function because there are two points which are (1,-1) , (1,3) have the same value of x with different values of y which contradicts with with the rule of function.
