42 divided by 6 is 7. if you subtract 4 from 7 the answer would be 3
The general form of the equation we need to find is (x - h)^2 = 4p(y- k).
The center is the distance between the directrix and focus.
So, center (h, k) = (3, 3/2) .
P = distance from center to the focus and it just so happens to be 1.5.
We now plug everything into the formula given above.
(x - 3)^2 = 4(1.5)(y - 3/2)
(x - 3)^2 = 6(y - 3/2)
Done!
The guy on top is correct
5 - [ - (-2)] =
5 - [ 2 ] =
5 - 2 =
3 <==
