directrix x=(-1)/4 (y+2)^2

directrix

x = 1

Solution steps

Rewrite

x = \frac{- 1}{4} (y + 2)^{2}

in the standard form:

4 (- 1) (x - 0) = (y - (- 2))^{2}

(h, k) = (0, - 2), p = - 1

Parabola is symmetric around the x-axis and so the directrix is a line parallel to the y-axis, a distance

- p

from the center

(0, - 2)

x-coordinate

x = 0 - p

x = 0 - (- 1)

Refine

x = 1
