Answer 6

The general form of a parabola is \(y = a(x - h)^2 + k\) where
\((h,k)\) is the vertex
\(x = h\) is the axis of symmetry

Answer 7

I did some checking and as it turns out, the point (3, 4 - 5/4) doesn't exactly represent any of the given choices. Nevertheless, we can rule out vertex and axis of symmetry since the given point is not consistent with (h,k) or x = h. Furthermore, the directrix is usually given in the form (x , k - p). Which leaves only one remaining possible choice.

I really appreciate it! @Hero
