directrix y=5x^2+6x-7

directrix

y = - \frac{177}{20}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = 5 x^{2} + 6 x - 7

in the standard form

4 \cdot \frac{1}{20} (y - (- \frac{44}{5})) = (x - (- \frac{3}{5}))^{2}

(h, k) = (- \frac{3}{5}, - \frac{44}{5}), p = \frac{1}{20}

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{3}{5}, - \frac{44}{5})

y-coordinate

y = - \frac{44}{5} - p

y = - \frac{44}{5} - \frac{1}{20}

Refine

y = - \frac{177}{20}
