directrix y=+(x+5)^2+3

directrix

y = \frac{11}{4}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = (x + 5)^{2} + 3

in the standard form:

4 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (y - 3) = (x - (- 5))^{2}

(h, k) = (- 5, 3), p = \frac{1}{4}

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

(- 5, 3)

y-coordinate

y = 3 - p

y = 3 - \frac{1}{4}

Refine

y = \frac{11}{4}
