Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form:

<em>(h, k)</em><em> - vertex</em>
The focus is

We have the vertex (2, -5) and the focus (2, -4).
Calculate the value of <em>a</em> using 
<em>k = -5</em>
<em>add 5 to both sides</em>
<em>multiply both sides by 4</em>


Substitute

to the vertex form of an equation of a parabola:

The standard form:

Convert using


<em>use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac</em>

Answer:
(3, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Set 3x and 2x+3 equal to each other forming an equation in x.
3x=2x+3
Solve for x.
x=3
Substitute the given value of x into the equation y=3x.
y=3x3
Solve for y.
y=9
(x, y) = (3, 9)
Hope this helps :)
It sounds like initially we have a total of 18*5 = 90. Then we are adding 5 + 4 +3 +2 +1 to this.
so that gives us 105.
105/5 = 21
