If the focus of a parabola is \((0,-3)\) and its directrix is \(y=3\), then it equation is

  1. A \(x^2=12 y\)
  2. B \(y^2=-12 x\)
  3. C \(y^2=12 x\)
  4. D \(x^2=-12 y\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(x^2=-12 y\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

This is of the form of \(x^2=-4 a y\) Here, \(S \equiv(0,-a) \equiv(0,-3)\) Thus, \(a=3\) \(\therefore\) Equation of parabola is \(x^2=-4 \times 3 y\) \(\Rightarrow \quad x^2=-12 y\)
