Question

Parabola question, check my answers?

Answer 1

y^2 + 6y - 2x + 13 = 0

Answer 2

Vertex: (2, -3)
Focus: (2.5, -3)
Directrix: x = 1.5
Length of Focal Chord: 1/2

^Does all of this look right?

Answer 3

lets check

Answer 4

thanks :)

Answer 5

Answer 6

Thanks! Even the focal length? that's what I was most unsure about

Answer 7

And I don't see it on there... unless the length of the focal chord is the same thing as the focal parameter? In which case I'd be wrong.. somehow...

Answer 8

the focal length is the distance between the vertex and the focus right?

Answer 9

I believe so, not positive

Answer 10

pretty sure that is what it is, so your answer is correct

Answer 11

Okay, thanks!
