Find the equation of the parabola with vertex [2,-3] and focus [0,5]

answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Dear student,
Let A(2, -3) be the vertex and F(0, 5) be the focus.
Let the axis meet the directrix at a point Z(α,β).
Then, A is the mid point of ZF.
So, 2 = α+0/2
α=4
and, -3=β+5/2
β=-11
Thus, the coordinates of Z are (4, -11).
Now, slope of ZF = 5+11/0-4=-4
So, slope of the directrix = 1/4
Thus, the directrix is a line passing through the point (4, -11) and has a slope equal to 1/4.
Thus, the equation of the directrix is given by:
Let P (x, y) be any point on the parabola. Then,
PF = length of the perpendicular from P on x-4y-48=0
Simplify this expression to get the required equation of the parabola.
We hope that this clarifies your query.

SIR PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTIONS : 1. Find the equation of the tangent to the circle x^2+y^2=16 drawn from the point (1,4). 2. How many triangles can be formed by joining any 3 of the 9 points when i) no 3 of them  are collinear? ii) 5 of them are collinear? 3. AB is a line of fixed length, 6 units, joining the points A(t,0) and B which lies on thepositive y axis. P is a point on AB distant 2 units from A. Express the coordinates of B and P in terms of t. Find the locus of P as t varies. 4. In a triangle ABC, (b^2 - c^2) / (b^2 + c^2) = sin(B - C) / sin(B + C), prove that it is either a right-angled or isoceles triangle.
