Because the focus is (-2,-2) and the directrix is y = -4, the vertex is (-2,-3).
Consider an arbitrary point (x,y) on the parabola.
The square of the distance between the focus and P is
(y+2)² + (x+2)²
The square of the distance from the point to the directrix is
(y+4)²
Therefore
(y+4)² = (y+2)² + (x+2)²
y² + 8y + 16 = y² + 4y + 4 + (x+2)²
4y = (x+2)² - 12
y = (1/4)(x+2)² - 3
Answer:
Just plug in b =2 into 7+b
So 7 + 2 = 9

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean triple (8, 15, 17) is often seen in algebra and geometry problems. You recognize it as choice A, so you know that is a right triangle.

A spreadsheet or graphing calculator can perform the tedium of comparing the sum of squares of the shorter sides to the square of the longer side. The attachment shows a spreadsheet used for that purpose. It identifies the triple (8, 15, 17) as the sides of a right triangle.
