Vertex = (0, 0)
focus = (-2, 0)
p = -2 - 0 = -2
Required equation is (y - k)^2 = 4p(x - h); where (h, k) = (0, 0), the vertex
(y - 0)^2 = 4(-2)(x - 0)
y^2 = -8x
Required equation in standard form is x = -1/8 y^2
4) You can use the same pattern to infer what's next, thus, finding the answer.
Answer:
a= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
3/8 = (3 - 0)/(a - (-2))
cross multiplying,
3(a + 2) = 3(8)
3a + 6 = 24
3a = 18
a = 18/3
a = 6
