Answer:

The answer to your question is: Yes a parabola can be drawn if we know the focus and the directrix.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that it is a vertical parabola that opens downwards.

We conclude that if we graph both the focus and the directrix. Also if we continue the process we can find the vertex (-4, -7) and p = 3.

Solve -2 = 5p + 3p -8 – 6p

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

P=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2=5p+3p−8−6p

−2=5p+3p+−8+−6p

−2=(5p+3p+−6p)+(−8)(Combine Like Terms)

−2=2p+−8

−2=2p−8

Step 2: Flip the equation.

2p−8=−2

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

2p−8+8=−2+8

2p=6

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2p2=62

p=3
