Algebra.Com's Answer #548610 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.) That describes a parabola. The y-axis is the directrix and A(3,-4) is the focus. Use the Distance Formula to derive the equation.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2.) Find the distances as a path around the figure and find if each distance between neighboring points around the path is the same; and also test slopes between two pair of points. If two intersecting lines are perpendicular and if all the sides are equal, then the figure is a square. \n" ); document.write( " |
