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

(x+4)^2 = -8(y+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the focus of a parabola is (-4, -5), and its directrix is y = -1.

We know that a parabola is a curve which has equal distance from focus and the directrix

If (x,y) be any point on the parabola, then

Square both the sides

Thus std form of the parabola is

(x+4)^2 = -8(y+3)

i do not know this sorry : (

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign
