See the diagram below.
is the height, and
is the slant height.
The height is the distance from the
base of the pyramid to the vertex (the top of the pyramid). It runs perpendicular to the base.
The slant height is the distance from the
base of the triangles which make up its sides to the vertex. It runs perpendicular to this base as well.
<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)
The answer is j.
y = |x - 1|
