Answer:

Directrix

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>directrix</u> of a parabola is the line, along with a point not on the line (which is the <em>focus</em>), which is used to generate a parabola.  The <em>directrix</em> is parallel either to the x- or y-axis, and is perpedicular to the parabola's axis of symmetry (at x = h).      

Therefore, the correct answer is "<u>directrix</u>."

Function Question!!!!!!!!
Artist 52 [7]
Choice A) The vertical line test confirms that the graph is a function
True. It is impossible to pass a single vertical line through more than one point on this graph. 
--------------------------------------------
Choice B) The domain is x >= 2
False. The domain is the set of all real numbers
--------------------------------------------
Choice C) The range is y >= 2
True. The smallest y value possible is y = 2. This is where the lowest part of the graph occurs.
--------------------------------------------
Choice D) This piecewise function is made up of four intervals
False. There are two intervals (the curved one on the left; the straight piece on the right)
--------------------------------------------
Choice E) Each interval of the piecewise function contains a graph of a linear function.
False. While the piece on the right is linear, the left portion is nonlinear (curved piece).
--------------------------------------------
In summary we have:

choice A) true
choice B) false
choice C) true
choice D) false
choice E) false

So the answers are choice A and choice C

Thee vertex of a parabola is (-5,2), and its focus is (-1,2). What is the standard form of the parabola?​
Alla [95]

Check the picture below.  So the parabola looks more or less like so.

\bf \textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \begin{cases} h=-5\\ k=2\\ p=4 \end{cases}\implies 4(4)[x-(-5)]=[y-2]^2\implies 16(x+5)=(y-2)^2 \\\\\\ x+5=\cfrac{1}{16}(y-2)^2\implies x = \cfrac{1}{16}(y-2)^2-5
