A parabola has a vertex at (0,0). The focus of the parabola is located at (4,0).What is the equation of the directrix?

The focus is 4 units to the right of the vertex, so the parabola opens horizontally to the right. The directrix is the same distance on the opposite side of the vertex, giving x = −4, which is choice A.
