Focus of the Parabola

161 Views Asked by At

Find the Focus of $$(2x+y-1)^2=5(x-2y-3)$$.

Clearly its a Parabola whose axis is $2x+y-1=0$ and since $x-2y-3=0$ is perpendicular to $2x+y-1=0$ Tangent at the vertex is $x-2y-3=0$.Also the Vertex is $(3,-1)$, but now how to find its focus?

Compare with $$Y^2=4aX$$ whose focus $(a,0)$
