If the focus of a parabola is (0,-3) and its directrix is y=3, then its equation is

A

`x^(2)=-12y`

B

`x^(2)=12y`

C

`y^(2)=-12x`

D

`y^(2)=112x`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Let P (x, y) be any point on the parabola. Then, by difinition, we have
`sqrt((x-0)^(2)+(y+3)^(2))=y-3rArrx^(2)=-12y`
