Answer:
3.8 is the answer to your problem. Happy Holidays!
Answer:
-4,3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1st one
x-2x-20 = 12
-x = 32
x=-4
2nd one
-15=15q-50 - 5q
35= 10q
q = 3.5
The line is called the directrix. Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.
Geometry is best done with squared distances. The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is

We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0):



We could call that done. A more standard form might be
