The focus of a parabola is (−5,−1) and the directrix is y=−3.

(x+5)^2=4(y+2)

the equation for a parabola with focus (h, k+p) and directrix y=k-p is 
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

so using your directrix y=-3, and knowing directrix is y=k-p, you have 
-3=k-p.
similarly, knowing the focus is defined by (h,k+p) and your focus is (-5,-1)
you have the equation -1=k+p.

you now have a system of equations
-3=k-p \\ -1=k+p
which you can solve using any method, I will use elimination.
adding down
-4=2k \\ -2=k
you now have k and can find p using either equation. 
-3=k-p \\ -3=-2-p \\ -1=-p \\ 1=p.

now you plug those in, getting the answer
(x+5)^2=4(y+2)

4. Which of the following lines is perpendicular to y = -2X + 8?
Alenkinab [10]

For this case we have to by definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of its slopes is -1.

That is to say:

m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1

We have the following equation:

y = -2x + 8

So:

m_ {1} = - 2

Thus:

m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {m_ {1}}\\m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {- 2}\\m = \frac {1}{2}

Thus, a line perpendicular to the given line must have slope m = \frac {1} {2}.

Option A:

x + 2y = 8\\2y = -x + 8\\y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 4

It is not perpendicular!

Option B:

x-2y = 6\\2y = x-6\\y = \frac {1} {2} x-3

If it is perpendicular!

Option C:

2x + y = 4\\y = -2x + 4

It is not perpendicular!

Option D:

2x-y = 1\\y = 2x-1

It is not perpendicular!

The correct option is option B
