To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. (x0,y0) is any point of the parabola.

 2. You have that the distance between (x0,y0) and the the focus (-2,4) is:

 √(x0-(-2))²+(y0-4))²
 √((x0-+2)²+(y0-4))²

 3. The distance between (x0,y0) and the directrix y=2, is:

 |y0-2|

 4. Then, you have:

 √((x0-+2)²+(y0-4))²= |y0-2|

 5. When you simplify it and you clear y0, you obtain:

 y0=(x0²/4)+x0+4

6. Therefore, <span>the equation of the parabola with focus (-2, 4) and directrix y = 2, is:
</span>
 y=(x²/4)+x+4

 7. The graph is shown in the figure attached.

 The answer is: y=(x²/4)+x+4

72.2 is incorrect :( i don’t know how to solve this <br> (Geometry)
Triss [41]

AC and DB are the same length. Set the two to equal each other and solve for y.

9y + 1 = 8y +17

Subtract 8y from both sides:

y + 1 = 17

Subtract 1 from each side:

y = 16

Now you know Y you can find the the length of DB:

DB = 8y +17 = 8(16) +17 = 128 + 17 = 145

EB is half of DB:

EB = 145 / 2

EB = 72.5
