The parabola is a downward parabola which is passing through origin and leading coefficient of the negative 2.
<h3>What is the parabola?</h3>It's the locus of a moving point that keeps the same distance between a stationary point and a specified line. The focus is a non-movable point, while the directrix is a non-movable line.
The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h, k), is given by:
y = a(x – h)² + k
where a is the leading coefficient.
The equation of the parabola will be
y = -x²
The given parabola is a downward parabola which is passing through origin and leading coefficient of the negative 2.
The graph of the function is given below.

Answer:
( 19/3 , 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question,
point D(7,1)
x1 = 7
y1 = 1
point F(5,4)
x2 = 5
y2 = 4
Location of point E which is 1/3 of the way from D to F
which means ratio of point E from D to F is 1 : 2
<h3>a : b</h3>
1 : 2
xk =
yk =
Plug values in the equation
xk = 7 + (1)/(1+2) (5-7)
xk = 19/3
yk = 1 + (1)/(1+2)(4-1)
yk = 2
