+18 Gavin graphs the parabola (x+1)2=−8(y+3) .
How does he proceed?
Drag a value, coordinates, equation, or word to the boxes to correctly complete the statements.
Gavin identifies that the vertex of the parabola is __________. The parabola opens __________, and the focus is __________ units away from the vertex. The directrix is ____________ units from the focus. The focus is the point ___________. The directrix of the equation is ___________.
Gavin plots the vertex and focus, and graphs the directrix as a dashed line. He then draws the parabola so that the focus sits inside the curve and the directrix does not intersect it.
