21-3= 18 and 18 divided by 6 equals 3 so v=3
<span> we have that
standard form of equation for parabola:
(x-h)^2=-4p(y-k)
(h,k) --------->being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
Parabola opens downwards because focus is below vertex on the axis of symmetry.
For given problem:
</span><span>vertex: (-3,2)
axis of symmetry: x=-3
p=distance from vertex to focus on the axis of symmetry=2-(-1)=3
4p=12
Directrix: y=2+p=5
Equation:
(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)
the answer is </span>(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)
I'm not sure... I think it is 60 because 2*3=6 and 9*6=54 and when you add them together you get 60.
