What is the equation of the parabola with a directrix at y = 4 and focus (0, -4).

Mathematics

Given that the directrix is at y = 4 and the focus is at (0, -4), then the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, 0).
p is the distance between the vertex and the focus and between the vertex and the directrix = 4 and since the focus is below the directrix, p is negative, i.e. p = -4
Equation of a parabola is given by (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)
Therefore, the required equation is (x - 0)^2 = 4(-4)(y - 0)
x^2 = -16y
y = -1/16 x^2

What is an equation of the line passing between(4, -6) and (12, -8)?*
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

y= -1/4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to find the slope.

to do this you can use the equation: change in y/change in x which is also y2 - y1/x2-x1

-8 - (-6)/12-4

-2/8

-1/4 = slope

since the line's equation is y = mx + b, we still need to find the y-intercept. we can do this by just plugging in one of the points

-6 = -1/4(4) + b

-6 = -1 + b

-5 = b

so the final equation is y= -1/4x - 5
