The locus of the mid-point of the line segment joining the focus to a moving point on the parabola $${y^2} = 4ax$$ is another parabola with directrix

The equation of the directrix of the parabola $${y^2} + 4y + 4x + 2 = 0$$

The equation of the common tangent touching the circle $${\left( {x - 3} \right)^2} + {y^2} = 9$$ and the parabola $${y^2} = 4x$$ above the $$x$$-axis is

If the line $$x - 1 = 0$$ is the directrix of the parabola $${y^2} - kx + 8 = 0,$$ then one of the values of $$k$$ is
