Finding Equation of Parabola from given Focus and Vertex
Given a Parabola having Focus at a point \((x_f,y_f)\) and Vertex at a point \((x_v,y_v)\), the Co-efficients of Equation Directrix of the Parabola \(Ax + By + C=0\) can be found out using following steps
Calculate the Projection Point of Focus/Vertex on the Directrix \((x_p,y_p)\). Since the Vertex of the Parabola is Mid Point Between the Focus and Projection Point of Focus/Vertex on the Directrix, the Projection Point can be calculated as
Once the Projection Point of Focus/Vertex on the Directrix \((x_p,y_p)\) is calculated, the Co-efficients of Equation Directrix \(A_Dx + B_Dy + C_D=0\) can be calculated as follows
