Which of the following parabolas opens down?

Mathematics

Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
3 0

ANSWER

The correct answer is C.

EXPLANATION

  • The directrix of the parabolas are parallel to the x-axis.
  • This means that, the orientation of the parabola is parallel to the y-axis.
  • We compare the focus and the directrix to determine whether the parabola opens downwards or upwards.
  • If the directrix is above the focus, then the parabola opens downwards.
  • On the other hand if the directrix is below the focus , then the parabola must open upwards.
  • If you look at option C, y=-2 isthe directrix. The focus is (3,-5). Since the the y-value of the focus , -5 is less than y=-2 which is the directrix, this parabola must open down.

The correct answer is C.

What is the equation of the line in the graph
iren [92.7K]

Always, ALWAYS remeber this format: y = mx + b

In this equation, 'm' is the slope, and 'b' is the y-intercept

When you're trying to find a slope, remember that the equation is \frac{rise}{run}

When finding the rise and run, look at two points that are on the graph AND on the line as well. Essentially, make sure the points you're using are integers.

In this, case, the rise is -3, and the run is 2. This means that the slope is  \frac{-3}{2}

Now we have the first part of our equation:

y = - \frac{3}{2} + b

But wait! How do we find b?

Sometimes you have to input x in order to find it, but only when you're not supplied with a graph. In this case, all you have to do is look!

The point of the line that is on the y-axis is called the y-intercept.

In this graph, the y-intercept is -1

Now we have our complete equation!

y = - \frac{3}{2} - 1

Good luck!

Last year the highest temperature in a city was recorded as 23ºC, and the lowest temperature was recorded as -10ºC. How many deg
DerKrebs [107]

33 degrees C

Step-by-step explanation:

On the integer scale, the numeric values can be added thus

23 to -10

23 to 0 and 0 to -10

23-0 = 23

0 -(-10) = 10

23 + 10 = 33

Thus, 33 degree C is the difference between the two temperatures.
