Answer:
(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between any point on a parabola from both its focus and directrix are the same.
Let's say we have a point (x,y) on the parabola. We can then say that using the distance formula,
is the distance between (x,y) and the focus. Similarly, the distance between (x,y) and the directrix is |y-1| (I use absolute value here because distance is always positive). We can find this equation by taking the shortest distance from the point to the line. Because the closest point to the line will be the same x value as the point itself, the distance is simply the distance between the y value of the point and the y value of the directrix.
Equating the two equations given, we have
square both sides to get
(x-5)²+(y+3)²=(y-1)²
expand the y components
(x-5)² + y²+6y+9 = y²-2y+1
subtract y²+6y+9 from both sides
(x-5)² = -8y - 8
expand the x components
x²-10x+25 = -8y - 8
add 8 to both sides to isolate the -8y
x²-10x+33 = -8y
divide both sides by -8 to isolate y
(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y
The equation of the line is
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- The line passes through the point (2,-4).
- The line has the slope of 3/5.
To find the equation of the line passing through a point and given its slope, the slope-intercept form is used to find its equation.
<u>The equation of the line when a point and slope is given :</u>
⇒
where,
- m is the slope of the line.
- (x1,y1) is the point (2.-4) in which the line passes through.
Therefore, the equation of the line can be framed by,
⇒
⇒
Take the denominator 5 to the left side of the equation.
⇒
Now, multiply the number outside the bracket to each term inside the bracket.
⇒
⇒
Divide by 5 on both sides of the equation,
⇒
Therefore, the equation of the line is
