The equation of the latus rectum of the ...

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

A

2y+3=0

B

3y=2

C

2y=3

D

3y+2=0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Given equation can be rewritten as `(x+2)^(2)=-2(y-2)` equation of latusrectum is y =-a `ltbgt`y-2=-1/2`
` rArry=3/2rArr2y=3`
