Let P be the parabola, whose focus is (-2,1) and directrix is 2 x+y+2=0 . Then the sum of the ordinates of the points on P , whose abscissa is -2 , is
Options
- A3 2
- B5 2
- C1 4
- D3 4
Correct answer
A. 3 2
Step-by-step solution
Equation of parabola (x+2)^2+(y-1)^2= ( 2 x+y+2 5 )^2 5 [(x+2)^2+(y-1)^2 ]=(2 x+y+2)^2 Put x=-2,5(y-1)^2=(y-2)^2 aligned & 5 (y^2-2 y+1 )=y^2-4 y+4 & 4 y^2-6 y+1=0 y₁+y₂= 3 2 aligned
