Find the equation of the parabola with focus (2, 0) and directrix `x=-2`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, the focus of the parabola is `(2,0)` and directrix is `x=-2`.
So, equation of parabola will be `y^2 = 4ax`
Here,`a = 2`.So, Equation becomes,
`y^2 = 4**2x=> y^2 = 8x`, which is the required equation of parabola.
