Question

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (−4,−10) and a directrix of y=−4. What can be said about the parabola?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Yes a parabola can be drawn if we know the focus and the directrix.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that it is a vertical parabola that opens downwards.

We conclude that if we graph both the focus and the directrix. Also if we continue the process we can find the vertex (-4, -7) and p = 3.
