Parabola Vertex Directrix

All parabolas with a vertical directrix open the left or right.

• true

• false

(x+3)² = 4(y+5)
What is the equation of the directrix?

• x = 4

• x = 2

• y = -4

• y = -6

The focus is at (2,0) and the vertex is at (-4,0).  What is the equation of the parabola?

• y² = 24(x+4)

• (y+4)² = -12x

• x² = 16(y+4)

• (x+4)²  = -20y

If given the equation y = 3(x + 5)² - 4, what is the vertex of the parabola?

• (5, -4)

• (-5, -4)

• (-15, -4)

• (15, -4)

What is the vertex of the parabola: y=2(x-3)²+4

• (3,4)

• (-3,4)

• (3, -4)

• (-3,-4)

The vertex is halfway between the focus and directrix.

• true

• false

What is the directrix of the parabola
(x - 4)² = 8(y + 3)?

• y = - 3

• x= 5

• y= - 5

• y= 2

Given the equation of the parabola, where would the VERTEX be? (put in standard form)

• ( 3 , 3)

• (24, 3)

• ( - 24, 3)

• (-3, 3)
