Conic Sections Question 43

Question: The equation of the parabola with focus (0, 0) and directrix $ x+y=4 $ is

[EAMCET 2003]

Options:

A) $ x^{2}+y^{2}-2xy+8x+8y-16=0 $

B) $ x^{2}+y^{2}-2xy+8x+8y=0 $

C) $ x^{2}+y^{2}+8x+8y-16=0 $

D) $ x^{2}-y^{2}+8x+8y-16=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ SP=PM\Rightarrow SP^{2}=PM^{2} $

therefore $ x^{2}+y^{2}={{( \frac{x+y-4}{\sqrt{2}} )}^{2}} $

therefore $ x^{2}+y^{2}-2xy+8x+8y-16=0. $
