directrix-3(x-7)^2

directrix

- 3 (x - 7)^{2}

y = \frac{1}{12}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = - 3 (x - 7)^{2}

in the standard form:

4 (- \frac{1}{12}) (y - 0) = (x - 7)^{2}

(h, k) = (7, 0), p = - \frac{1}{12}

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

(7, 0)

y-coordinate

y = 0 - p

y = 0 - (- \frac{1}{12})

Refine

y = \frac{1}{12}

(x + 7)^{2} = 5 (y + 3)

y^{2} - 6 y = - 4 x + 3

+ x^{2} - 14

x^{2} + 8 x + 3

2 x^{2} - 2 x - 1
