Which of the following equations describes the set of all points (x, y) that are equidistant from the x-axis and the point (4, 6

)? (A) (x - 4)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 9 (B) (x - 4)^2 = 12(y - 3) (C) (y - 3)^2 = 12(x - 4) (D) (x - 4)^2 = 6(y - 3) (E) (x - 4)^2 = 12(y - 6) Why is the answer choice (B)? And also, why not choice (D)?

Answer

The option B is the right answer because the vertex is (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the canonical equation of the parabola:

(X-h) ^ 2 = 4p (y-k)

The values (h, k) correspond to the coordinates (x, y) of the vertex.

In the definition of the problem it is said that the guideline of the parabola is the X axis, that is, the line Y = 0 and the focus is the point (4,6).

If the vertex were the point (4.6) the correct option would be option D

But the vertex is located at the midpoint of the segment defined by the focus points (4, 6) and the point (4, 0) that is on the parabola directrix. therefore, as the vertex is the point (4.3). the correct option is B.

The distance from a point to a line is the length of the ____________ segment from the point to the line.
solniwko [45]

Answer: 1) Perpendicular

2) Concurrent

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from a point to a line is the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line.

As Perpendicular segment is the shortest distance to the point of the line.

When three or more lines intersect at one point, they are concurrent.

Because Concurrent is a situation when three or more lines intersect each other at a single point.
