Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form:
<em>(h, k)</em><em> - vertex</em>
The focus is
We have the vertex (2, -5) and the focus (2, -4).
Calculate the value of <em>a</em> using 
<em>k = -5</em>
<em>add 5 to both sides</em>
<em>multiply both sides by 4</em>
Substitute
to the vertex form of an equation of a parabola:
The standard form:
Convert using
<em>use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac</em>
The x-coordinate remains the same as the x-coordinate of point B.
The y-coordinate becomes the additive inverse of the y-coordinate of point B.
Answer: B. (3, -8)
Answer:
The line passing through (-8, 10) and (-1, 4).
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. The slope of the line in the picture is 
, so we should find a line with slope of 
.
Note that the slope of the line in the last option is 
.
