Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(x-p)(x-9) is the equation of a vertical parabola.

If a>0, the parabola opens upwards.

If a<0, the parabola opens downwards.

Also, the focal length of the parabola is 1/|4a|.

X= 0 Find the slope of a line parallel and perpendicular

Llana [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x=o . so the line is parallel to x-axis.

So the line parallel to the line : x = 0

As the perpendicular line will be parallel to y-axis. so the slope of the line parallel to y-axis is undefined.

What does the y-coordinate have to be for a point to be on the x-axis?

vesna_86 [32]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we're talking about something like y coordinate being on the x axis, I'd have to say 0. Because it would be on the y axis no matter the coordinates of it isn't a 0. Ex : (0,0) and (0,9). (0,9) would have the point going upwards on the y axis.

HIII PLS HELP <br>PLS SHOW ME ALL UR WORKINGS THXX

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) y = 3x

m = 3

Slope of the line perpendicular to line (y = 3x) = -1/m = -1/3

Equation of the line through origin : y = mx

$y = \frac{-1}{3}x$

(ii) Form of the equation of all lines which are perpendicular to y = 3x is

$y = \frac{-1}{3}x +c$

c is y-intercept
