Question

Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola.

(y+2)^2 = -2(x-6)

I found the vertex which is (6,-2)

AND 4p=-2

p=-2/4
p=-1/2

Answer 1

v = (6,-2) is right

4a = -2

a = |-1/2| = 1/2

Answer 2

it opens to the right so the focus is (6,-1.5)

Answer 3

and the D: x = -2.5

Answer 4

thats backwards lol

Answer 5

it opens to the left; becasue of the -2....

switch the focus and directix i gave yuo

Answer 6

oh.. ok

Answer 7

the focus is wrong. says the program

Answer 8

focus should be...doh!!, modify the x not the y grrr!!

Answer 9

V = (6,-2) F=(5.5,-2) D= x=6.5
