The equation of the directrix of the parabola given is x = 6, Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Directrix of a Parabola ?</h3>

A parabola is a U shaped curve whose all point are at same distnace from a  point called as focus and a line called as Directrix .

The equation of the parabola given is

y² = -24x

When the standard equation of parabola is

 (y - k)² = 4p (x - h),

where the focus is (h + p, k) and the directrix is x = h - p.

here h = 0

p = -24/4 = -6

x =  0 - (-6)

x = 6

Therefore Option D is the correct answer.

Which of the following equations represent linear functions?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

y=-2; y=4(2x)-3

Linear Equations do not have the value of x squared. They also shouldn't have the x value taken by the square root.

The second and third equations would be graphed as non-linear functions.

You would have one tenths (1/10) of a chance to get a 4 on the first go. you would have four ninths (4/9) of a chance to get a number less than 5 out of the bag on the second go.

the overall probability would be two forty-fifths (2/45)

Simplifying&#10;-1x + -1 = 221 + 2x&#10;&#10;Reorder the terms:&#10;-1 + -1x = 221 + 2x&#10;&#10;Solving&#10;-1 + -1x = 221 + 2x&#10;&#10;Solving for variable 'x'.&#10;&#10;Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.&#10;&#10;Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.&#10;-1 + -1x + -2x = 221 + 2x + -2x&#10;&#10;Combine like terms: -1x + -2x = -3x&#10;-1 + -3x = 221 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0&#10;-1 + -3x = 221 + 0&#10;-1 + -3x = 221&#10;&#10;Add '1' to each side of the equation.&#10;-1 + 1 + -3x = 221 + 1&#10;&#10;Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0&#10;0 + -3x = 221 + 1&#10;-3x = 221 + 1&#10;&#10;Combine like terms: 221 + 1 = 222&#10;-3x = 222&#10;&#10;Divide each side by '-3'.&#10;x = -74&#10;&#10;Simplifying&#10;x = -74
