Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
The equation of the directrix of the parabola y^2 = 8x is?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Identify the standard form of the parabola. The equation y^2 = 8x is in the form y^2 = 4px.
Step 2: Compare the given equation with the standard form. Here, 4p = 8.
Step 3: Solve for p by dividing both sides by 4. So, p = 8 / 4 = 2.
Step 4: Understand that for a parabola that opens to the right, the directrix is given by the equation x = -p.
Step 5: Substitute the value of p into the directrix equation. So, x = -2.
