The equation

{y^2} - 8y-x + 19 = 0

represents a parabola whose focus is

\left( {\frac{1}{4},0} \right)

and directrix is a parabola whose vertex is (3,4) and directrix is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

x = \frac{{11}}{4}

Option B (

x = \frac{{11}}{4}

) is correct because it is the directrix of the parabola, calculated by finding the directrix in the translated coordinate system and then converting back to the original coordinates.
