I will give brainliest to the correct answer!! Find the vertex and the length of the latus rectum. x= 1/2(y - 5)² + 7

Vertex =(5,7)

Latus rectum = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a parabola can be expressed as x = a(y-h)²+k where 'a' is a constant and (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Comparing the general equation with the given equation x= 1/2(y - 5)² + 7, it can be seen that a = 1/2, h = 5 and k = 7. Hence the vertex of the equation is (5,7) on comparison.

The length of the latus rectum of a parabola is 4a

On comparing the equation with the general equation, a = 1/2

Length of the latus rectum = 4(1/2)

Length of the latus rectum = 4/2 = 2

Hence the vertex is (5,7) and the length of latus rectum is 2

other answer is correct. i had used the radius of the radius somehow. a website:
