Question diagram: If vertex of parabola is 2 , - 1 and equation of its directr

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Plotting the graph with given data we have,

We know that, in any parabola, the length of the latus rectum =4a and perpendicular distance from vertex to the directrix =a

So, a=8+3-2142+-32

a=-105=2 

Therefore, the length of the latus rectum 4a=4×2=8
