The equation of the directrix of the parabola `y^2 + 4y + 4x + 2 = 0` is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Given, `y^(2) + 4y + 4x + 2 = 0`
`implies (y + 2)^(2) + 4x - 2 = 0`
`implies (y + 2)^(2) + 4x - 2 = 0`
`implies (y + 2)^(2) = - 4 (x - (1)/(2))`
Replace `y + 2 = Y, x - (1)/(2) = X`
We have, `Y^(2) = - 4X`
This is a parabola with directrix at X = 1
`implies x - (1)/(2) = 1`
`implies x = (3)/(2)`
