The given endpoints are A (-1, 2) and B (7, 8).

Let the coordinates of P be (x,y)
Because AP:PB = 1:3, therefore
\frac{x-(-1)}{7-x} = \frac{1}{3}
Cross multiply.
3(x+1) = 7 - x
3x + 3 = 7 - x
4x = 4
x = 1

Also,
\frac{y-2}{8-y} = \frac{1}{3}
Cross multiply.
3(y - 2) = 8 - y
3y - 6 = 8 - y
4y = 14
y = 7/2

Answer:
The coordinates of P are (1, 7/2)

What equation represents a parabola that opens UP with the vertex at 2,4
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

  y = (x -2)^2 +4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is ...

  y = a(x -h)^2 +k

for vertex (h, k) and vertical scale factor "a". When a > 0, the parabola opens upward.

One equation for your parabola could be ...

  y = (x -2)^2 +4

__

In standard form this one is ...

  y = x^2 -4x +8

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (-4,17/8) and a directrix of y=15/8
Temka [501]
So hmm notice the graph below

based on where the focus point is at, and the directrix, then, the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the squared variable is the "x"

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}}) \\\\
\boxed{(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})}\\
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}

now, keep in mind, the vertex is at coordinates h,k
the vertex itself is half-way between the focus and directrix
the directrix is at y=15/8 and the focus is at y=17/8
so, half-way will then be \bf \cfrac{17}{8}-\cfrac{15}{8}=\cfrac{2}{8}\iff \cfrac{1}{4}

well, so is 1/4 between the focus point and the directrix, half of that is 1/8
so, if you move from the focus point 1/8 down, you'll get the y-coordinate for the vertex, or 1/8 up from the directrix, since the vertex is equidistant to either

what's the "p" distance? well, we just found it, is just 1/8

so, the x-coordinate is obviously -4, get the y-coordinate by 17/8 - 1/8   or 15/8 + 1/8

and plug your values (x-h)² = 4p(y-k)   and then solve for "y", that's the equation of the quadratic

Please help me answer this for a test im having trouble
Dimas [21]

Answer:

x + 1

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we need to represent "y "in terms of "x" in the first equation, and the plug in the "y" value in the first equation into the second one. Luckily for us in the first equation it already shows what "y" is equal to in terms of "x" (based on the first equation y = -x + 10). Now we just need to plug in the value that we got instead of "y" in the second equation, and so we get....

y = 7x + 2

(plug in the y value and get the following ….)

-x + 10 = 7x + 2

(now just solve the following equation)

-x + 10 + x = 7x + 2 + x

10 = 8x + 2

10 - 2 = 8x + 2 - 2

8 = 8x

8/8 = 8x/8

1 = x

Now that we know the value of "x", all we need to do now is substitute the value of "x" into any of the equations and we will get the value of "y". So we do the following.....

y =  7x + 2

y = 7(1) + 2

y = 7 + 2

y = 9
