We know that
<span>Since the focus and vertex are above and below each other, rather than side by side, I know that this ellipse must be taller than it is wide.
</span>Then 
a²<span> will go with the </span>y<span> part of the equation
</span>Also, since the focus is 8 <span>units below the center, then </span><span>c = 8
</span>since the vertex is 17<span> units above, then </span><span>a = 17
</span>The equation b²<span> = a</span>²<span> – c</span>²<span> gives me
</span>b²=17²-8²-----> b²=225
the equation is
y²/a²+x²/b²=1------> y²/289+x²/225=1

the answer is
y²/289+x²/225=1

see the attached figure

If you take the original amount 45 and subtract the admission fee 17 you get what is left over which would be  28 dollars. Good Luck and I hope that this helps!!

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel segment divides the 2 sides of the triangle proportionally, that is

\frac{x}{8} = \frac{6}{12} ( cross- multiply )

12x = 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 4

What is the slope and y-intercept of 6x-5y=13
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The slope is 6/5 and the y intercept is -13/5

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-5y=13

Solve for y

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-6x-5y=-6x+13

-5y = -6x+13

Divide by -5

-5y/-5 = -6x/-5 +13/-5

y = +6/5x -13/5

This is in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 6/5 and the y intercept is -13/5
