directrix y=7x^2+5

directrix

y = 7 x^{2} + 5

y = \frac{139}{28}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = 7 x^{2} + 5

in the standard form:

4 \cdot \frac{1}{28} (y - 5) = (x - 0)^{2}

(h, k) = (0, 5), p = \frac{1}{28}

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

(0, 5)

y-coordinate

y = 5 - p

y = 5 - \frac{1}{28}

Refine

y = \frac{139}{28}
