Answer:
(3, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you create a mini graph, like I did, you would have seen that the middle point is at the co-ordinates (3,6). I have attached a image to this reply, with my "graph". (Sorry if its a little ugly, but that doesn't matter, the math does.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola has a focus of F(8.5,−4) and a directrix of x=9.5.
General form of horizontal parabola is
the distance between directrix and focus is the value of p
so p = 8.5 - 9.5 = -0.5
Focus is (h+p , k), given focus is (8.5, -4)
So k = -4 and h+p = 8.5
we know p = -0.5
h +p = 8.5
h - 0.5 = 8.5
so h= 9 and k = -4
vertex is (h,k) that is (9, -4)
Now plug in the value in the general equation
, k= -4, h= 9 , p = -0.5
subtract 18 on both sides
Divide whole equation by -2
