\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\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}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
y=\cfrac{1}{8}x^2\implies (y-0)=\cfrac{1}{8}(x-0)^2\implies 8(y-0)=(x-0)^2
\\\\\\
4(2)(y-0)=(x-0)^2\impliedby \textit{that means, p = 2}

so... if you notice, the vertex is at h,k and that'd be the origin, 0,0

so...since the directrix is "p" units from the vertex, so it'd be 2 units from 0,0

now, the parabola has an equation with a positive leading term's coefficient, namely the 1/8 is positive, thus, the parabola is opening upwards, and the directrix is "outside" the parabola, so is below the vertex

that puts the directrix 2 units below 0,0

y = -2

Answer:

27°

Step-by-step explanation:

XWY and VWY are supplementary

∴ XWY + VWY = 180°

∴ XWY = 180° - VWY

XYW and ZYW are supplementary

∴ XYW + ZYW = 180°

∴ XYW = 180° - ZYW

ΔXWY is a right triangle at X

∴ XWY + XYW = 90°

∴ 180° - VWY + 180° - ZYW = 90°

∴ 180° - 6x + 180° - 4x = 90°

∴ 360° - 10x = 90°

∴ 10x = 270°

∴ x = 27°

If you reflect any shape across the x-axis and then across the y-axis, do you get the same result that you would if you rotated
Anton [14]
Yes, it has the same result


look at the picture. the red triangle is the first image. the green one is the result of reflecting over x-axis. then if you reflect it over y-axis, it would be the purple triangle



if you had rotated the red triangle at first, it would have the same result





good luck
