Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to determine is how this parabola opens.  Up or down? Or left or right?  

*We see that the axis of symmetry is a line parallel to the y-axis; therefore, the axis of symmetry is an x =    line, making this an up or down parabola.  Now we need to determine how everything else all fits in.

The standard form of this type of parabola is

4p(y-k)=-(x-h)^2

where p is the distance between the vertex and the focus.  If the vertex has a y coordinate of 3, and the focus has a y coordinate of -3, the vertical distance between those 2 numbers is 6.  Therefore, p = 6.  Filling in then:

4(6)(y-3)=-(x-4)^2

and 24(y-3)=-(x-4)^2

Dividing both sides by 24 gives you what you are looking for:

y-3=-\frac{1}{24}(x-4)^2

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x + y = 4
wel

The slope of the line of the equation given is -2 (by solving for y, you get y = -2x+4).


So, in order to be perpendicular, you must take the negative reciprocal.

The slope would be -1/2.
