Question

Explain how you would find the equation of a parabola, given the coordinate of the focus and the equation of the directrix.

I don't understand how to find any of these things or how to explain it. If someone could help me understand through the explanation, I'll be able to understand and do the rest of my work. Thank you so much! <3

Answer 1

theres some very good links which explain this in Khan Academy and Purple math.
Try googling 'equation of a parabola given the focus and directrix'.
