Answer: the following points are in Quadrant 3
Check the picture below.
now, we know the directrix is at y = 1, and the focus point is at 1,3, well, notice the picture, the distance between those fellows is just 2 units.
the vertex is half-way between those fellows, therefore, the vertex will be at 1,2.
the distance "p", from the vertex to either the directrix or focus, is really just 1 unit. Since the focus point is above the directrix, is a vertical parabola, and it opens upwards, like in the picture, and since it opens up, the "p" value is positive, or +1.
We can use the points (-6, 2) and (-4, 13) to solve.
Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1
= 13-2/-4-(-6)
= 11/2

The slope of x-y=8 is 1 because it's actually y = x-8
Parallel means the slope is equal to 1 as well.
The second choice becouse of the total being changed
