The correct option is
C y=94,9The given equation is of the form x2=−4ay, where a is positive.
Therefore, the focus is on the y-axis in the negative direction and parabola opens downwards.
Therefore,
Given equation of parabola-
x2=−9y.....(1)
Standard equation of parabola-
x2=−4ay.....(2)
Comparing eqn(1)&(2), we have
a=94
As we know that, for parabola in the form x2=−4ay, equation of directrix for parabola is-
y=a
∴ For x2=−9y, equation of directrix is-
y=94
Length of latus rectum, l=4a
As a=94,
∴l=4×94=9
Hence, the equation of directrix will be y=94 and the lngth of latus rectum will be 9.
