Question 1081143: Find the equation of parabola with directrix at y=8/3 and focus at (-3/2,4)
Use the distance formula to
a) find a polynomial equation with integer coefficients for the set of coplanar points/lines described
b) identify the conic; justify your answer. show work
For each point (x,y) its distance from the point (-4,-1) is 3/2 times its distance from the line x=5

Set of points (x,y) equally distant from line y=8/3 as from point ( -3/2, 4).
Distance Formula and definition for parabola:
-
-------Not yet in integer coefficients. Your parts (a) and (b) look like a separate question from the description written above them.
(a)
What is the given information? Same as the description shown before it, or is part of (b) ?
(b)
Follow the description as written and put the information into the Distance Formula. Simplify the equation.
Work with it!
