    The equation of the directrix of the parabola    \[{{y}^{2}}+4x+4y+2=0\]is                      

    A)  \[x=1\]           

    B)  \[x=-1\]

    C)  \[x=\frac{3}{2}\]

    D)  \[x=\frac{2}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given equation of parabola is \[{{y}^{2}}+4x+4y+2=0\] \[\therefore \] \[{{(y+2)}^{2}}+4x-2=0\] \[{{(y+2)}^{2}}=-4\,\left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)\] It is of the form of \[{{y}^{2}}=-4AX.\] \[\therefore \] \[A=1\] \[\therefore \]   Equation of directrix is \[x=A.\] \[\therefore \] \[x-\frac{1}{2}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{3}{2}\]
