The parabola with focus at $(4,-3)$ and vertex at $(4,-1)$ is

The parabola with focus at $(4,-3)$ and vertex at $(4,-1)$ is
  1. $\mathrm{x}^2+8 \mathrm{x}+6 \mathrm{y}+22=0$
  2. $x^2-8 x-10 y+6=0$
  3. $x^2-8 x-16 y=0$
  4. $x^2-8 x+8 y+24=0$

Solution

Since points $(4,-3)$ and $(4,-1)$ lie on the line $x=$ 4. So axis of parabola is the line $x=4$. Focus of the parabola lies below the vertex. So the parabola is downwards. $\therefore \mathrm{a}=\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(-3+1)^2}$ (distance between focus and vertex. $ =2 $ $\therefore$ Equation of parabola is $ \begin{aligned} & (x-4)^2=-4(2)(y+1) \\ & \Rightarrow x^2-8 x+8 y+24=0 \end{aligned} $
