Question

Using a directrix of y = -2 and a focus of (1, 6), what quadratic function is created?

Answer 1

A conic section is generated.

Answer 2

It will be a second degree equation.

Answer 3

Is it f(x)= 1/8 (x-1)^2 -2 ?

Answer 4

Is any other info given? A fixed line and focus can generate a parabola, ellipse, hyperbola or a pair of straight lines. It depends on the value of eccentricity. Then we can form an equation.

Answer 5

That's the only information :/

Answer 6

They have answer choices if seeing them would help you
