He equation of a parabola is x = -4(y-1)^2. What is the equation of the directrix? 
<span>You may write the equation as </span>
<span>(y-1)^2 = (1) (x+4) </span>
<span>(y-k)^2 = 4p(x-h), where (h,k) is the vertex </span>
<span>4p=1 </span>
<span>p=1/4 </span>
<span>k=1 </span>
<span>h=-4 </span>

<span>The directrix is a vertical line x= h-p </span>
<span>x = -4-1/4 </span>
<span>x=-17/4 </span>

<span>------------------------------- </span>
<span>What is the focal length of the parabola with equation y - 4 = 1/8x^2 </span>
<span>(x-0)^2 = 8(y-4) </span>
<span>The vertex is (0,4) </span>
<span>4p=8 </span>
<span>p=2 (focal length) -- distance between vertex and the focus </span>
<span>------------------------------- </span>
<span>(y-0)^2 = (4/3) (x-7) </span>
<span>vertex = (7,0) </span>
<span>4p=4/3 </span>
<span>p=1/3 </span>
<span>focus : (h+p,k) </span>
<span>(7+1/3, 0)</span>

Convert it to  vertex form we get 

y = 1/8(x + 16)^2 - 12     

so the vertex is at (-16,-12) and  the x coordinate of the focus will be -16)

The focus  will be at (-16, k + p)    Here k = -12 from the vertex equation and  p  = 1 / 4a  where a = 1/8    so p = 1 / 1/2 = 2  So k + p = -12 + 2 = -10

So the coordinates of the focus are (-16, -10) answer

A line passes through (−1, 7) and (2, 10). which answer is the equation of the line?
mart [117]
First you need to find the slope of the line. So what you need to do is y^2-y^1 / x^2-x^1

(x^1, y^1) (x^2, y^2)
( -1, 7) ( 2, 10)

10-7/ 2- (-1)
3/3=1
slope is 1

I got 8 as the y intercept. Reason how is that I made a table. And what I did was go back instead of going forward.

x y
-1 7
0 8
1 9
2 10

The answer would be x= 1 y= x + 8 y=8 But the answer choice you listed for A. would not match up the 2 coordinate you gave. Make sure a. should be x= 1 y= x + 8 y=8, not -x y= 8-x y=8

Use the graph to the right to write an equation of the line. What is the equation?​
Bingel [31]

Answer:

y = 1/4 x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line, find from the line the slope and y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis which here is at point (0,-2).

The slope of the line is found by writing a ratio between the vertical distance and the horizontal distance between points.

Slope is 1/4.

Substitute m = 1/4 and b = -2 into the slope intercept form y = mx + b.

y = 1/4 x - 2
