What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (-4, 17/8) and a directrix of y=15/8

Yay

so
this is going to be
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

(h,k) is the vertex
p is the distance from the vertex to the focus and the vertex to directix

half of the distance between directix and focus is p
if the directix is above the focus, p is negative
if the directix is below the focus, p is positive
so

we see
y=15/8 is the directix
focus is above directix (p is positive)
it is 2/8 or 1/4 above it
so
half of 1/4 is 1/8
p=1/8
the vertex is 1/8 below vertex so it is it at (-4,16/8) or (-4,2)
the equation is
(x-(-4))^2=4(1/8)(y-2) or
(x+4)^2=4(1/8)(y-2) is the equation

Graph △ABC with vertices A(2, 3), B(−4, −3), and C(2, −3). Find the coordinates of the circumcenter.
Stolb23 [73]
Circumcenter = (-1,0)  
The circumcenter of a triangle is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle. So let's calculate a couple of the bisectors and determine their intersection. 
 Slope AB = (3 - -3)/(2 - -4) = (3+3)/(2+4) = 6/6 = 1
 Perpendicular bisector will have a slope of -1 and will pass through point ((2-4)/2,(3-3)/2) = -2/2,0/2) = (-1,0)
 Equation is of the form
 y = -x + b
 Substitute known point
 0 = -(-1) + b
 0 = 1 + b
 -1 = b
 So the equation for the perpendicular bisector of AB is
 y = -x - 1 
 Now let's calculate the perpendicular bisector of BC
 Slope BC = (-3 - -3)/(-4 - 2) = (-3 + 3) / (-6) = 0/-6 = 0. This means that the
line is horizontal and that the perpendicular bisector will be a vertical line with infinite slope. A point that line will pass through is ((-4 + 2)/2, (-3 + -3)/2) =
(-2/2, 0/2) = (-1,0). So the equation for the line is:
 x = -1 
 Now we want the intersection between
 x = -1 and y = -x - 1
 Since we know that x has to be -1, just substitute it into the 2nd equation.
 y = -x - 1
 y = -(-1) - 1
 y = 1 - 1
 y = 0
 
 So the circumcenter is (-1,0).
 Let's verify that. The distance from the circumcenter to each vertex of the triangle will be the same. Using the Pythagorean theorem, C^2 = A^2 + B^2. We're not going to bother taking the square root since if the squares are equal, then square roots will also be equal.
 Distance^2 from (2,3):
 (2- -1)^2 + (3-0)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 = 9 + 9 = 18 
 Distance^2 from (-4,-3):
 (-4 - -1)^2 + (-3 - 0)^2 = -3^2 + -3^2 = 9 + 9 = 18 
 Distance^2 from (2,-3):
 (2 - -1)^2 + (-3 - 0)^2 = 3^2 + -3^2 = 9 + 9 = 18 
 The distances to all three vertexes is identical, so (-1,0) is verified as the circumcenter.
