FOCUS VERTEX AND DIRECTRIX OF PARABOLA AND GRAPH WORKSHEET

Graph the parabola and identify the vertex, directrix, and focus.

Problem 1 :

y2 = -12x

Solution

Problem 2 :

x2 = 8y

Solution

Problem 3 :

6(x + 1)2 + 12(y - 3) = 0

Solution

Problem 4 :

y2 - 12(x + 2) = 0

Solution

Problem 5 :

(x + 2)2 = -8(y + 2)

Solution

Problem 6 :

(y - 1)2 = -8x

Solution
