Let the number of cookies that kate eats be ‘n’
kate : n
nacy : 2n-4
avery : 2(2n-4)

n + 2n-4 + 2(2n+4) = 18
7n - 12 = 16
7n = 28
n = 4

kate : 4
nacy : 2x4 - 4 = 4
avery : 2(2x4 - 4) =8

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (-7,-5) and a directrix at x = -4
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

y² + 10y + 6x + 58 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus of the parabola has been given as (-7, -5) and directrix as x = -4

Let a point on the parabola is (x, y).

By the definition of a parabola, "distance of a point on parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix".

Distance from focus of the given point = \sqrt{(x+7)^2+(y+5)^2}

Distance of the point from directrix = \sqrt{(x+4)^2}

Therefore, equation of the parabola will be,

\sqrt{(x+7)^2+(y+5)^2}=\sqrt{(x+4)^2}

(x+7)^2+(y+5)^2=(x+4)^2

x² + 14x + 49 + y² + 10y + 25 = x² + 8x + 16

y² + 14x + 10y + 74 = 8x + 16

y² + 10y + 6x + 58 = 0

What is the slope (5,7) and (2,-2)​
Romashka [77]

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

so we can plug the points into this formula

(5,7)     (2,-2)

x1 y1    x2 y2

-2-7/2-5=m

-9/-3=m

Simplifies to

3=m
