If the 3 points are collinear, then the slopes of all line segments connecting the points are the same.
Thus,
-6 - (-8) 2
m = ------------- = -------- = -1/2
-7 - (-3) -4
Then the following must be true:
4-(-6) 10
-1/2 = ------------ = ---------
c - (-7) c + 7
Cross multiplying, -(c+7) = 20, and c+7 = -20, so that c = -27
Answer:
If point C represents -1, then each space is 1 unit.
So, A = -10
B = -4
D=2
E=9
Let me know if this helps!
A median is the middle number of a data set.
To find it put the numbers in order.
78, 69, 69, 96, 99
Then find the middle number
78, 69, *69,* 96, 99
The median is 69
A mode is the number that appears the most in a set of numbers.
78, *69, 69,* 96, 99
The mode is 69
To find the mean or average of a set of numbers, add all the numbers together then divide by the number of numbers there are.
99+69+96+69+78 = 411
411/5 = 82.2
The mean is 82.2

Part 1: The general form for this matches y^2 = -4cx, which implies that this opens to the left. (Imagine assigning any value of y, whether positive or negative, which would result in a positive left-hand value. Then to match this sign, the value of x must be negative so that the right-hand side becomes positive as well.)
Part 2: The distance from the vertex to the directrix is given by c. This equation has its vertex at the origin (0, 0). If it opens to the left, the directrix is a vertical line to the right of the origin. This equation is y^2 = -4(1/2)x, so c = 1/2, and the directrix has the equation x = 1/2.
Part 3: The focus is inside the parabola, but it is the same distance from the vertex as the directrix. This distance is 1/2 units, and it will be to the left of the vertex. So the focus is at (-1/2, 0).
21.50 x 25 = 537.50
10.75 x 5 = 53.75
537.50 + 53.75 = 591.25
