The distance between any point (x0,y0) on the parabola and the focus (m,n) is the same as the distance between (x0,y0) and the directrix line ax+by+c. The distance between (x0,y0) and focus (a,b) is \sqrt((x-m)^2+(y-n)^2). The distance between (x0,y0) and ax+by+c is |ax0+by0+c|/\sqrt(m^2+n^2). Equalize these two expressions.
Using the x and y intercepts from the graph to find the slope of the line:
slope = (0 - 2) / (4 - 0)
slope = -1/2
Using the point-slope form:
y - 0 = -1/2 (x - 4)
-2y = x - 4
4 = x + 2y
Coefficient of x is 1 and coefficient of y is 2.
3) 2 to 3
4) 4 to 5
5) 5 to 6
6) 5 to 7
ur welcome kid
the answer is b because the piggy bank originally contained $25 and the person adds $1.50 per day.. so: 25+1.5d
