directrix 0=(y-1)^2-16(x+4)

directrix

x = - 8

Solution steps

Rewrite

0 = (y - 1)^{2} - 16 (x + 4)

in the standard form:

4 \cdot 4 (x - (- 4)) = (y - 1)^{2}

(h, k) = (- 4, 1), p = 4

Parabola is symmetric around the x-axis and so the directrix is a line parallel to the y-axis, a distance

- p

from the center

(- 4, 1)

x-coordinate

x = - 4 - p

x = - 4 - 4

Refine

x = - 8

What is the directrix 0=(y-1)^2-16(x+4) ?
The directrix 0=(y-1)^2-16(x+4) is x=-8
