Question 1099607: The focus of a parabola is (-4, -5), and its directrix is y = -1. Fill in the missing terms and signs in the parabola's equation in standard form. Answer by josgarithmetic(39623) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the distance formula according to Definition of Parabola.
Distance from focus (-4,-5) to (x,y) is the same as distance from (x,-1) to (x,y). Use algebra steps to simplify.
