I'm assuming there is probably a graph that goes with this problem so here is all the info I can give you with the four choices:
If it is -1/3, the line will go DOWN 1, over 3 (just count on the graph)
If it is 3, the line will go UP 3, over 1
If it is 1/3, the line will go UP 1, over 3
And if it it -3, it will go DOWN 3, over 1
(If the slope is 3 or -3, it would be quite steep compared to a slope of 1/3 or -1/3)
Hope that helps!
Given:
The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).
Directrix at y=-7.
To find:
The equation of the parabola.
Solution:
The general equation of a parabola is:
...(i)
Where, (h,k) is vertex, (h,k+p) is the focus and y=k-p is the directrix.
The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).
On comparing both sides, we get
...(ii)
Directrix at y=-7. So,
...(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get
Putting in (ii), we get
Putting 
in (i), we get
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is .
Use a number line if you need 4/10 - 6/10 = -2/10a simpler way is to do the opposite 6/10 - 4/10 = 2/10 then the answer would be the opposite as well. so, -2/10
