For the parabola equation in standard form

y=a(x-h)^2+k

we know that the focus coordinate is

(h,k+\frac{1}{4a})

Since our focus is (-2,5), by comparing this coordinate with the last result, we can see that

\begin{gathered} h=-2 \\ 5=k+\frac{1}{4a} \end{gathered}

Then, the possible solution has the form

\begin{gathered} y=a(x-(-2))^2+k \\ or\text{ equivalently} \\ y=a(x+2)^2+k \end{gathered}

We can see tha the last option has this form. Lets corroborate that this is the correct choice. Then, we have that

\begin{gathered} a=\frac{1}{12} \\ \text{and} \\ k=2 \end{gathered}

by substituting these values into the above equation:

5=k+\frac{1}{4a}

we have

5=2+\frac{1}{4(\frac{1}{12})}

which gives

\begin{gathered} 5=2+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=2+3 \\ \text{then} \\ 5=5 \\ \text{which corroborate the result.} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is the last option:

y=\frac{1}{12}(x+2)^2+2

Answer:

slope is equal to rise (going up or down on graph) over run (going left or right)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = - \frac{5}{4}

2=   \frac{4}{2} =   2

3.    \frac{7}{3}

4.   -\frac{4}{7}

5.    \frac{3}{6} =   \frac{1}{2}

6.   -\frac{2}{8} = - \frac{1}{4}

Two small planes leave Sacramento and LA, which are 380 miles apart, and travel toward each other. If one plane travels 30 miles
Anettt [7]
The sum of their speeds is 380 miles per hour. The difference of their speeds is 30 miles per hour. Then the faster plane is traveling at
.. (380 +30)/2 = 205 miles per hour

The slower plane's speed is 30 miles per hour less, so it is traveling at
.. 205 mph -30 mph = 175 miles per hour
