Find an equation for the parabola with vertex 5 0 and direct

Find an equation for the parabola with vertex (5, 0),
and directrix x = -6. Then draw the graph of the conic section
on the grid below.

Which form does the equation of the given parabola fit?

(x - h)2 = 4c(y - k)
(y - k)2 = 4c(x - h)



Enter the appropriate values below based on the equation chosen above.

h =
k =
c =

The focus of the parabola is at the point
( , ).

Solution

(y - k)2 = 4c(x - h)

(y-0)^2 = 4*6*(x-5)

y^2 = 24(x-5)

h = 5
k = 0
c = 6
