directrix x=(2y-1)(5y-6)

directrix

x = - \frac{5}{4}

Solution steps

Rewrite

x = (2 y - 1) (5 y - 6)

in the standard form

4 \cdot \frac{1}{40} (x - (- \frac{49}{40})) = (y - \frac{17}{20})^{2}

(h, k) = (- \frac{49}{40}, \frac{17}{20}), p = \frac{1}{40}

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

(- \frac{49}{40}, \frac{17}{20})

x-coordinate

x = - \frac{49}{40} - p

x = - \frac{49}{40} - \frac{1}{40}

Refine

x = - \frac{5}{4}
