The vertex is exactly half way between directrix and focus. In this case the vertex is (8,-7)
(h,k)
P is the distance between the vertex and either the directrix or focus, in this case p = 1.
a = 1/(4p) or 1/(4*1) or 1/4
write the equation in vertex form
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 1/4(x-8)^2 -7

Answer: 
Multiple both ratios by a least common denominator
the least common denominator for both is 15
multiply the first ratio by 3/3
9/15=9/15
both are equal because when multiplying by the least common denominator you get the same answer
Answer:
$100 rebate
Step-by-step explanation:
$479.99-$100.00= $379.99 or $479.99-20% =$383.99 so the $100.00 rebate a better offer
