This should be easy for you's

1)

The focal chord that cuts the parabola x^2 = -6y at (6,-6) cuts the parabola again at X. Find the coordinates of X.

2) Find the coordinates of the endpoints of the latus rectum of the parabola x^2 = -8y . What is the length of the latus rectum.

i got the last part of that q = 8 units

dont' know first part of that q

2) well you find the coordinates of the focus, and then sub those y-coordinates into the parabola equation to find the endpoints.
