Answer:

  D.  (y +4)² = -4(x -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix is a vertical line, and the focus is to the left of it. The parabola will open to the left.

The vertex is halfway between the focus and directrix, so is located on the same horizontal line as the focus, at ...

  x = (1 +3)/2 = 2

The focus to vertex distance is the difference in x-coordinates: 1 -2 = -1. This is the value of p in the form ...

  (y -k)² = 4p(x -h) . . . . . . . parabola with vertex (h, k)

The equation is ...

  (y +4)² = -4(x -2)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Once you determine that the directrix is a vertical line, you know the equation will have a y² term. The only answer choice that has that is D.

Suppose 2 eggs with bacon cost 2.70 . One egg with bacon costs 1.80 . At thesebrates what will bacon alone cost
Leno4ka [110]

If 2 eggs with bacon cost 2.70, and 1 egg with bacon costs 1.80, that means that 1 egg costs 0.90, so when we subtract once more 0.90 we get the price of the bacon alone, which is in this case 0.90.
