Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(-\frac{3}{2},-\frac{3}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P(x, y)\) be any point on the parabola whose focus is \(S(-1,-1)\) and directrix is \(x+y+4=0\) Let \(M\) be foot of perpendicular drawn from \(P\) to the directrix. Then,…
