If a parabola has the origin as its focus and the line x = 2 as the directrix, then the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola are

A

(0, 1)

B

(2, 0)

C

(0, 2)

D

(1, 0)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Axis of the parabola is the line passing through the focus (0, 0) and perpendicular to the directrix x = 2 So, its equation is y = 0 i.e. x-axis. Axis and directrix intersect at (2, 0) Vertex is the mid-point of focus (0, 0) and (2, 0).
Hence, the coordinates of vertex are (1, 0)
