A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (8, -2) and a directrix of = -6. Write the equation of the parabola in any form.

If m∠abc = 70°, what is m∠abd? justify your reasoning.  using the addition property of equality, 40 + 70 = 110, so m∠abd = 110°.  using the subtraction property of equality, 70 − 30 = 40, so m∠abd = 30°.  using the angle addition postulate, 40 + m∠abd = 70. so, m∠abd = 30° using the subtraction property of equality.  using the angle addition postulate, 40 + 70 = m∠abd. so, m∠abd = 110° using the addition property of equality.

Gabriel determined that his total cost would be represented by 2.5x + 2y – 2. his sister states that the expression should be x + x + 0.5x + y + y – 2. who is correct? explain.
