draw a perpendicular line from the directrix passing through the focus, this will be the line of symmetry.
The vertex(h, k) will be located on the line half way between the focus and directrix.
The distance from the focus to the vertex is called the focal length, call it a. The then equation is
(x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k)
the equation can be manipulated to
y = 1/4a(x - h)^2 + k
hope it helps
= is parallel lines because they are in line with each other. Hope I helped :D
I believe the dryer costs $357.50
there's an easy way to solve this
you just divide the given price($585)
by 2 and then to one half add $65
and the answer is 65+292.5=357.5
It should be -16, assuming you are asking for -4*4. If you meant -4^4 (-4 to the fourth power) then the answer is 256.
