Answer: The slope is 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, you need to find the difference between the y coordinates and divide it by the difference in the x coordinates.
The y coordinates are -4 and 5
The x coordinates are -4 and 2
-4 -5 = - 9
-4 - 2 = -6
-9/-6 = 3/2
Just count the notches between the two points, there are 15 notches so 15 is tour answer
Guess this is how it should look like, not sure what the instructions on drawing an x through the segments mean, but hope this helps!

Answer: c. 8(y-6) = (x-2)^2</h3>
Explanation:
The directrix is horizontal, so the axis of symmetry is vertical. We'll have an x^2 term. The vertical distance from y = 4 to y = 8 is 4 units. Cut this in half to get 2, which is the focal distance p = 2.
The point (2,4) is directly below (2,8), and the point is on the directrix. The midpoint between (2,4) and (2,8) is (2,6). This is the vertex.
(h,k) = (2,6)
4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2
4*2(y-6) = (x-2)^2
8(y-6) = (x-2)^2
