Answer:
8.6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between two points we use the formula posted below
All we need to do is figure out what the points are on the graph and plug them into the formula... we end up with
the square root of (5-(-2)^2+(2-(-3)^2 and get the answer of 8.602325267
then we round to the nearest tenth and get 8.6
The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as
Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.
The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.
Using this value for p and (3, 1) as the vertex, we have our equation
