directrix 7x^2-7x

directrix

y = - \frac{25}{14}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = 7 x^{2} - 7 x

in the standard form

4 \cdot \frac{1}{28} (y - (- \frac{7}{4})) = (x - \frac{1}{2})^{2}

(h, k) = (\frac{1}{2}, - \frac{7}{4}), 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

(\frac{1}{2}, - \frac{7}{4})

y-coordinate

y = - \frac{7}{4} - p

y = - \frac{7}{4} - \frac{1}{28}

Refine

y = - \frac{25}{14}
