Question:medium

The equation of the parabola with focus at $(3, 0)$ and directrix $x + 3 = 0$ is:

Show Hint

If the focus is on the positive x-axis $(a, 0)$ and directrix is parallel to the y-axis, the parabola opens rightwards with the standard form $y^2 = 4ax$.

Updated On: May 31, 2026

$y^2 = 12x$
$y^2 = -12x$
$x^2 = 12y$
$x^2 = -12y$

Show Solution

The Correct Option is A
