directrix (x+2)^2=8(y-3)

directrix

y = 1

Solution steps

Rewrite

(x + 2)^{2} = 8 (y - 3)

in the standard form:

4 \cdot 2 (y - 3) = (x - (- 2))^{2}

(h, k) = (- 2, 3), p = 2

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

- p

from the center

(- 2, 3)

y-coordinate

y = 3 - p

y = 3 - 2

Refine

y = 1
