Because the focus is (-2,-2) and the directrix is y = -4, the vertex is (-2,-3).

Consider an arbitrary point (x,y) on the parabola.
The square of the distance between the focus and P is
(y+2)² + (x+2)²
The square of the distance from the point to the directrix is
(y+4)²

Therefore
(y+4)² = (y+2)² + (x+2)²
y² + 8y + 16 = y² + 4y + 4 + (x+2)²
4y = (x+2)² - 12
y = (1/4)(x+2)² - 3

Answer: y= \frac{1}{4} (x+2)^{2} - 3

Natasha2012 [34]
ANSWER

6.63

Explanation:

Equation used: c2 = a2 + b2 ( rearranged due to having the two sides )

c2 = 12^2 + 10^2

c2 = 144 - 100

c2 = 44

c2 = 6.63 ( the square root of 44 )

Step-by-step explanation:

bc the half of 4 is 2 since 4 is 35 we have to find the half of 35 and how we do that is by dividing it by 2.

35%2=17.5 so 2 is equal 17.5 so <2 is 17.5
