Find the slope of the line y= -3x+7

Softa [21]

Answer:

<h3>If you had a line of x = 7, (or any time you have an equation where x equals a number) then you would have a vertical line. In every vertical line, the slope is undefined. In equations of lines that are in the format of y = mx + b, the slope is represented by the "m".</h3>

B because you need to do 2/6 which is the probability of getting a number above 4 times 1/2 the probability of getting heads. 2/6 x 1/2 = 2/12 = 1/2

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of

Volgvan

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point on a given parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix.

Given:

Focus of the parabola is at $(2,8)$ .

Directrix of the parabola is $y=10$ .

Let $(x,y)$ be any point on the parabola. Then, from the definition of a parabola,

Distance of $(x,y)$ from focus = Distance of $(x,y)$ from directrix.

Therefore,

$\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y-10|$

Squaring both sides, we get

$(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}-(y-8)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10+y-8)(y-10-(y-8))...............[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)]\\(x-2)^{2}=(2y-18)(y-10-y+8)\\(x-2)^{2}=2(y-9)(-2)\\(x-2)^{2}=-4(y-9)\\y-9=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9$

Hence, the equation of the parabola is $y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9$ .
