Question

match the steps to find the equation of the parabola with focus (-1, -8.75) and directrix y = - 9.25.

Answer 1

Answer:

The matched options to the given problem is below:

Step1: Choose a point on the parabola

Step2: Find the distance from the focus to the point on the parabola.

Step3: Use (x, y).

Find the distance from the point on the parabola to the directrix.

Step4: Set the distance from focus to the point equal to the distance from directrix to the point.

Step5: Square both sides and simplify.

Step6: Write the equation of the parabola.

Step by step Explanation:

Given that the focus (-1,2) and directrix x=5

To find the equation of the parabola:

By using focus directrix property of parabola

Let S be a point and d be line

focus (-1,2) and directrix x=5 respectively

If P is any point on the parabola then p is equidistant from S and d

Focus S=(-1,2), d:x-5=0]
