A) x = -2
B) y =2
C) y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a positive parabola so it opens upwards. The equation for the directrix of this parabola is y = k - p. k is the second number in the vertex of the parabola which is (0, 0), but we need to solve for p.

The form that the parabola is currently in is

so that means that . We can use that to solve for p in the formula

so

which simplifies to

which gives us that

p = 2. Now to find the directrix:

y = k - p becomes

y = 0 - 2 so

y = -2, choice A.

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.

4a. is 3 miles every hour

4b. is 1/3 of an hour per mile
