Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Step-by-step explanation
Given vertex is (5, 4) and directrix 3x + y 29 = 0
Let foot of perpendicular of (5, 4) on directrix is (x1, y1)
So, focus of parabola will be
Let P(x, y) be any point on parabola, then
and given parabola
a = 9, b = 6, c = 134, d = 2, k = 711
