Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (7, 0) and a directrix at x = -7. y = one divided by twenty eightx2 x = one divided by twenty eighty2 -28y = x2 y2 = 14x

OpenStudy (ageta):

where p is the the y of the focus minus the y of the vertex.

OpenStudy (ageta):

The vertex is halfway between focus and directrix.

OpenStudy (ageta):

it a sideways parabola

OpenStudy (ageta):

p=7

OpenStudy (ageta):

When your directrix is x=b, then you have x=4py2 When your directrix is y=b then you have y=4px2.

OpenStudy (ageta):

you should get 1/28

OpenStudy (ageta):

When your directrix is x=b, then you have 4px=y2 When your directrix is y=b then you have 4py=x2.

OpenStudy (sarahc):

so b?

OpenStudy (ageta):

yes
