Equation of Directrix of a Parabola > Find the equation of the directrix of the parabola $y^2+4y+4x+2=0$ I tried it as follows: $$(y+2)^2+4x-2=0$$ $$(y+2)^2=-4(x-\frac{1}{2})$$ On comparing with $Y^2=-4aX, a>0$, I g...
vertex is at: $ \quad V\quad : \quad \left(x(h),h \right)=(k,h)$
The focus is at : $\quad F \quad :\quad (k+p,h)\; $ with $p=\dfrac{1}{4a}$
and the directrix has equation:
$d \quad : \quad x=k-p$
We can easily see that for your parabola $x=-\frac{1}{4}y^2-y-\frac{1}{2}$ the directrix is the line $x=\frac{
