The parabola y2 = kx passes through the point (4, -2). Find its latus rectum and focus. |
|
Answer» y2 = kx passes through (4, -2) (-2)2 = k(4) ⇒ 4 = 4k ⇒ k = 1 y2 = x = 4(\(\frac{1}{4}\))x a = \(\frac{1}{4}\) Equation of LR is x = a or x – a = 0 i.e., x = \(\frac{1}{4}\) ⇒ 4x = 1 ⇒ 4x – 1 = 0 Focus (a, 0) = (\(\frac{1}{4}\), 0) |
