Algebra.Com's Answer #693360 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The vertex would give a (y+1), (x-2) picture, and the directrix at x=-2 would mean a parabola opening horizontally, so the y would be squared, not the x. \n" ); document.write( "(y+1)^2-16(x-2). \n" ); document.write( " |
