SAQ-2: How can you determine if the parabola of the given equation opens
upward or downward?
SAQ 3: How will you know when the line of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis?
Let’s Practice!
:
Directions: Verify whether the given equation is an equation of a parabola. If the equation is
that of a parabola, write the equation in standard form. Determine the vertex 𝑉, focus 𝐹,
equation of the directrix and the line of symmetry.
1. 𝑥2 − 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 9 = 0
Solution:
𝑥2 − 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 9 = 0 ⇒ 𝐴𝑥2 + 𝐵𝑥𝑦 + 𝐶𝑦2 + 𝐷𝑥 + 𝐸𝑦 + 𝐺 = 0
Determine the values of the following constants.
𝐴= , 𝐵= , 𝐶= , 𝐷= , 𝐸= , 𝐺= .
Verify if 𝐵2 − 4𝐴𝐶 = 0.
𝐵2 − 4𝐴𝐶 = 0

To get the standard equation, simplify the given equation by completing
the left column and following the steps in the right column.
a. Vertex: 𝑉(ℎ, 𝑘)
Given: ℎ = and 𝑘 =
∴ Vertex is 𝑉( _, )
b. Focus: 𝐹(ℎ, 𝑘 + 𝑐)
Given: ℎ = _, 𝑘 = , and 𝑐 =
Solution: 𝑘+𝑐= = _,
∴ Focus is 𝐹( , )
c. Directrix: 𝑦 = 𝑘 − 𝑐
Given: 𝑘 = _ and 𝑐 = _
Solution: 𝑘−𝑐= = 1,
∴ Directrix is 𝑦 = 1
d. Line of symmetry: 𝑥 = ℎ
Given: ℎ = _
∴ Line of symmetry is 𝑥 =
a. Standard equation : (𝑥 − ℎ)2 = 4𝑐(𝑦 − 𝑘)
Given: ℎ = _, 𝑘 = , and 𝑐 =
Solution: (𝑥 − )2 = 4( )(𝑦 − _ )
(𝑥 )2 = _(𝑦 ) Simplify to remove the extra grouping symbols
∴ Standard equation is _ .
