What is the focal length of the parabola whose graph is shown? focus: (-3, 2.6) and directrix: (-0.6)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: P=focal legnth is the distance from the focus to the vertex, which also is the disance from the directix to the vertex

therefor
distance from directix to focus=2 times focal legnth

find distance
horizontal distance
from y=-0.6 to y=2.6, that is distance ot 3 units
3/2=1.5
focal distance=1.5

Answers

Simply isolate y by subtracting the 4x to the other side: y=-4x-10

I may be wrong but im pretty sure function form is: f(x)= 4x-10
