What are the distances from the point (x, y) to the focus of the parabola and the directrix? Select two answers. A. distance to the directrix: |y+6| B. distance to the focus: (x+4)2+(y−2)2√ C. distance to the directrix: |y−6| D. distance to the focus: (x−2)2+(y+4)2√ E. distance to the directrix: |x+6| F. distance to the focus: (x−2)2+(y+5)2√

Option (A) and Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point on the parabola is (x, y).

Focus given as (2, -4) and directrix of the parabola is y = -6

Therefore, distance of the point from the directrix will be,

d = |(y + 6)|

Similarly, distance of the point (x, y) from the focus will be,

d =

  =

Therefore, Option (A) and Option (D) will be the correct options.
