Question

Which graph represents the equation x2 = 8y? On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It has a vertex at (0, 0), a focus at (0, 8), and a directrix at y = negative 8. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It has a vertex at (0, 0), a focus at (0, 2), and a directrix at y = negative 2. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens to the right. It has a vertex at (0, 0), a focus at (2, 0), and a directrix at x = negative 2. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens to the right. It has a vertex at (0, 0), a focus at (8, 0), and a directrix at x = negative 8.

Answer 1

The parabola x²=8y has,

vertex: (0,0)

focus: (0,2)

directrix: y=-2

so that option is the answer,

btw, the parabola opens up to the top and axis of symmetry is x=0

Answer 2

It's A!
