Find the coordinates of the focus, axis of the parabola, the equation of the directrix and the length of the latus rectum. y^2 = 10x

Given:

The condition is

   

.

Here we realize that the coefficient of

   

.

Along these lines, the parabola opens towards right .

On contrasting this condition and

   

, we get,

   

Accordingly, the co-ordinates of the concentration

   

Since, the given condition includes

   

, the axis of the parabola is the

   

.

∴ The condition of directrix,

   

, then, at that point,

   

Length of latus rectum
