The focal chord of the parabola `y^2=a x`is `2x-y-8=0`. Then find the equation of the directrix.A. `x+4=0`B. `X-4=0`C. `Y-4=0`D. `Y++4=0`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The coordinates of the focus of the parabola `y^(2)=ax` are (a/4, 0).
It is given that `2x-y-8=0` is a focal chord.
`:." "a/2-8=0rArra=16`.
The equation of the directrix is `x=-a/4" i.e. "x=-4`.
