directrix (x+1)^2=-3(y-6)

directrix

(x + 1)^{2} = - 3 (y - 6)

y = \frac{27}{4}

Solution steps

Rewrite

(x + 1)^{2} = - 3 (y - 6)

in the standard form:

4 (- \frac{3}{4}) (y - 6) = (x - (- 1))^{2}

(h, k) = (- 1, 6), p = - \frac{3}{4}

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

(- 1, 6)

y-coordinate

y = 6 - p

y = 6 - (- \frac{3}{4})

Refine

y = \frac{27}{4}

What is the directrix (x+1)^2=-3(y-6) ?
The directrix (x+1)^2=-3(y-6) is y= 27/4
