Question

Part 1: Write the general form of the equation which matches the graph below.

Part 2: In complete sentences, explain the process taken to find this equation.

Answer 1

Ouch, this hurts my brain. Good luck!

Answer 2

Haha thanks @ballsohardskeezerstryingtofindme

Answer 3

Looks like a porabola

Answer 4

However i have no idea what A or the dotted line are

Answer 5

it is a parabola. A is the focus and the dotted line is the directrix

Answer 6

To get a side parabola instead of y = x^2 you must have y^2 = x

Answer 7

I'm not sure if this is right, but this is what I got:
\[\sqrt{(x+4)^2 + (y-3)^2} = 4\]

Answer 8

imagine the graph is shifted 3 units below. find the equation. then replace 'x' by 'x-3'.
this is what i mean:

Answer 9

there's a formula like this : \(x = \frac{y^2}{2p}\), I tihnk it's more or less that. do you remember the exact formula?
