Question

19. Demonstrate that the points (-8, 0) and (6,0) do

not determine a unique parabola by writing the
equations of two different parabolas that pass
through these two points.

Answer 1

Explanation:

equation: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Slope: Y2-Y1

------------

X1- X2

0-(-8). 8

-------- = ------

0-6. -6

when putting a point in a equation it needs to have an opposite signs. ex: point: (-8,0( point in equation (8,0)

y+8= 8/-6(x-0)

y-6= 8/-6(x-0)
