foci (x+9)^2=-40(y-7)

foci

(- 9, - 3)

Solution steps

Rewrite

(x + 9)^{2} = - 40 (y - 7)

in the standard form:

4 (- 10) (y - 7) = (x - (- 9))^{2}

(h, k) = (- 9, 7), p = - 10

Parabola is symmetric around the y-axis and so the focus lies a distance

p

from the center

(- 9, 7)

along the y-axis

(- 9, 7 + p)

= (- 9, 7 + (- 10))

Refine

(- 9, - 3)
