Enter values for y in the table to plot points in the graph. A set of values is shown in the table. A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 0, 2, 3, 5. Column 2 is labeled y with entries negative 2, 4, a, 13. If the set of values represent points on a line, what is the value of a?

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)

step-by-step explanation:

can you post the graph?
