We know that the x-ordinate of the vertex is x = 4, because the x-ordinate of the vertex will not change.
Now, the definition of a parabola in locus terms is that for any fixed point that lies on the parabolic shape, it is equidistant from the directrix to the fixed point and the focus to the fixed point.
Thus, we can deduce that:
PS = PD, where P(x, y) is a moving point that lies on the parabola.
Now, we know that the latus rectum will be -4a, because the directrix is higher than the y-ordinate of the focus. Thus, we can say that the vertex will be the midpoint of the two points y = 7 and y = 8, because that is the only place where the definition of a parabola works.
Hence, we can say that the vertex lies at (4, 7.5).
Thus, our general form becomes:
(x - 4)² = 4a(y - 7.5)
To find a, we can say: 7 = 7.5 + a and 8 = 7.5 - a
a = -0.5, because a is the factor in which we move to find the directrix and focus.
Thus, our equation becomes: (x - 4)² = -2(y - 7.5)
Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Since AC and DE are parallel lines, then
∠ BAD = ∠ EDF= 2x ( corresponding angles )
The sum of the 3 angles in Δ BAD = 180°, thus
2x + 2x + 72 = 180, that is
4x + 72 = 180 ( subtract 72 from both sides )
4x = 108 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 27
Answer:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the distance between the point - 3, 2 and 1 - 1
Given data
x1= -3
y1= 2
x2= 1
y2= -1
The expression for the distance between two points is
d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)
subtitute
d=√((1-(-3))²+(-1-(2))²)
d=√((1+3))²+(-1-2))²)
d=√((4)²+(-3))²)
d=√16+9
d=√25
d=5
Hence the distance between the points is 5 units

Answer:
4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope(m) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Pick two points on your graph that are closest to clear values. (By that I mean you shouldn't pick points that aren't obvious unless you have to.)
For instance, I see the points (-2,0) and (3,4) to be clear; so we don't have to approximate anything.
You could plug these in in a any order but I'm going to let Point 1=(-2,0) and Point 2=(3,4). So:
m=(4-0)/(3--2)=(4/5)
Slope=4/5
