The vertex is exactly half way between directrix and focus. In this case the vertex is (8,-7)
(h,k)
P is the distance between the vertex and either the directrix or focus, in this case p = 1.
a = 1/(4p) or 1/(4*1) or 1/4
write the equation in vertex form
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 1/4(x-8)^2 -7
Answer:
do provide the figure dude.
Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We need two points to find the slope
( 20,20) and (60,50)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (50-20)/(60-20)
= 30/40
= 3/4
8x - 2y = -8
-5x + 2y = -1
3x = -9
x = -3
