directrix y=x^2-10x-24

directrix

y = x^{2} - 10 x - 24

y = - \frac{197}{4}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = x^{2} - 10 x - 24

in the standard form

4 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (y - (- 49)) = (x - 5)^{2}

(h, k) = (5, - 49), p = \frac{1}{4}

Parabola is symmetric around the y-axis and so the directrix is a line parallel to the x-axis, a distance

- p

from the center

(5, - 49)

y-coordinate

y = - 49 - p

y = - 49 - \frac{1}{4}

Refine

y = - \frac{197}{4}

y = x^{2} + 2 x - 12

- 2 x^{2} + 24 x + y - 70 = 0

\frac{( 4 x + 5 ) ( 2 x + 3 )}{2}

y = 4 (x - 1)^{2} - 2

- 2 - x + x^{2}
