Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is horizontal parabola.
It has a directrix at x=-6.
The vertex is (0,0).
The focus is (6,0)
The equation of this parabola is of the form
Where (p,0) is the focus
By comparison, p=6
Therefore the equation of the parabola is
This implies that
- Slope Formula:
So remember that <u>perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other</u> and <u>parallel lines have the same slope.</u> To find out if they are either parallel or perpendicular, plug the pair of points into the slope formula to find their slopes:
Since these slopes aren't the same nor are they negative reciprocals to each other, <u>the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.</u>
