Match the steps to find the equation of the parabola with focus (-1, -8.75) and directrix y = - 9.25. 1.
Set the distance from focus to the point equal to the distance from directrix to the point.
2.
Choose a point on the parabola.
3. Use (x, y).
Find the distance from the point on the parabola to the directrix.
4.
Write the equation of the parabola.
5.
Square both sides and simplify.
6.
Find the distance from the focus to the point on the parabola.

the correct answers are 1, 2, 4, and 5! i just got it right!

step-by-step explanation:

consider the parallelogram shown in the attached image.

in the parallelogram hijk, the length of hk is given as,

from the properties of parallelogram we know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel to each other and are equal in measure.

therefore, the length of the side ij must be equal to the length of the side hk and that is .

hence, the expression for the length of ij confirms that hijk is a parallelogram.
