Y-6=-14/11(x+4)
The slope is (6+8)/(-4-7), by the equation y1-y2/x1-x2. This equals -14/11.
In point slope, you follow the form y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope, and x1 and y1 are two points on the coordinate plane. If you substitute in (-4,6), you get the second answer choice, y-6=-14/11(x+4)

Find the length of the missing side

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

x = 9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theroem to find the lenght of x

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 7^2 = x^2

36 + 49 = x^2

85 = x^2

then find the square root of 85 which is 9.2

Find an equation for the parabola with focus at (-5,-4) and vertex at (-5,-3)

sattari [20]

Answer:

$(x+5)^{2}=-4(y+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Focus point = (-5, -4)

Vertex point = (-5, -3)

We need to find the equation for the parabola.

Solution:

Since the x-coordinates of the vertex and focus are the same,

so this is a regular vertical parabola, where the x part is squared. Since the vertex is above the focus, this is a right-side down parabola and p is negative.

The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k) and the focus is at (h, k + p). So, directrix is y = k - p.

Substitute y = -4 and k = -3.

$-4 = -3+p$
