The equation of parabola is y=\frac{1}{10}\left(x-1\right)^{2}-2

Comparing with the vertex form of the parabola: y=a(x-h)^2+k

a=\frac{1}{10},h=1,k=-2

Hence, the vertex of the parabola is given by (h,k) = (1, -2)

Now, vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point on the directrix.

Distance, between vertex and focus is p and that of point on the directrix is p.

Now, let us find p

p=\frac{1}{4a}\\\\p=\frac{1}{4\cdot1/10}\\\\p=\frac{5}{2}

Thus, the focus is given by

(h,k+p)\\\\=(1,-2+5/2)\\\\=(1,1/2)=(1,0.5)

And the directrix is given by

y=k-p\\\\y=-2-5/2\\\\y=-\frac{9}{2}

Since, a >0 hence, it is an upward parabola.

The graph is shown in the attached file.

Simple math but I can't seem to understand it: x+y=2 becomes y=2-x, in order to find slope and y intercept y=mx+b The result bec
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we started off with the equation:

x+y=2

And we subtracted x from both sides to acquire:

y=2-x

Now, this is essentially slope-intercept form. Recall that the slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we rearrange our equation:

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

And put some parentheses:

y=(-1)x+(2)

We can see that this is indeed slope-intercept form.

And we can see that m is -1 and b is 2.

In other words, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 2.

Solve: 4x - 2x + 6 = x + 12 A) x = 6 B) x = 2 C) no solution D) x = −6
Kitty [74]

Answer:

A) x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2x + 6 = x + 12

Combine like terms

2x +6 = x+12

Subtract 6 from each side

2x+6-6 = x+12-6

2x = x+6

subtract x

2x-x = x+6-x

x = 6

AB and CD are parallel find the value of y<br> Show clearly how you got your answers with reasons
Zina [86]

Answer:

y = 167°

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the triangle = 154° ( alternate angle to 154° )

The triangle has 2 equal legs so is isosceles with 2 base angles congruent

base angle = \frac{180-154}{2} = \frac{26}{2} = 13°

base angle and y are adjacent angles, lie on straight line AB and sum to 180°

y + 13° = 180° ( subtract 13° from both sides )

y = 167°
