In each of

The given equation is y² = -8x

Here, the coefficient of x is negative.

Hence, the parabola open towards the left.

On comparing this equation with y² = -4ax, we get,

-4a = -8

⇒ a = 2

Thus,

Co-ordinates of the focus = (-a,0) = (-2, 0)

Since, the given equation involves y², the axis of the parabola is the x-axis.

Equation of directrix, x =a, then,

y = 2

Length of latus rectum = 4a = 8
