OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

see the red line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah*

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, that seems to be the Directrix of the parabola, the distance from the directrix to the vertex, and from the focus to the vertex, is EXACTLY the same

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

that is so in a parabola

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 5?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

well, that's the y coordinate, but the focus is a point, not a line, so you also need the x coordinate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1,5)

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!
