Writing Quadratic Equations when Given a Focus and
Directrix
1. Marsha was completing the steps for a parabola that has a focus at
(5, –2) with directrix at y = -3. Complete the missing steps below.
The distance from focus to a point on the line (x, y):
d = C- x)² + L-y)²
The distance from the point on the line (x,y) to the directrix:
d =,
)² + (y – (-3))²
The distance from focus to point on line is equal to the distance from directrix
to point on line.
C- x)² + _ - y)² = d = J
-D? + (y – (-3)²
L-x)? + (_- y)? = (__- -
)² + (y – (-3))²
- 10x + x² + 4 + + y? = (__)² + + 6y + 9
x² + y? + 4y + = y? +,
x² – 10x + 29 =
x² – 10x + = 2y
_(x² – 10x + 20) = y
Function of the parabola:
f(x) = .
_x².
x+.
