The equation of directrix of a parabola is  y = 1.

What is the Equation of Directrix?

The equation of the directrix of the parabola x²=4ay is given by y = -a.

Here, [tex]y = \frac{1}{4} x^{2} - 2x + 1[/tex]

         [tex]4y = x^{2} - 8x + 4[/tex]

         [tex]4y = (x-4)^{2} - 12[/tex]

         [tex]4y + 12 = (x-4)^{2}[/tex]

         [tex](x-4)^{2} = 4(y + 3)[/tex]

Equation of Directrix ⇒ Y = 4

                                     (y+3) = 4

                                       y = 4-3

                                       y = 1

Thus, The equation of directrix of a parabola is  y = 1.
