A parabola drawn on a coordinate plane has vertex (5,3) and focus (7,3) What is the value of a when the equation of the parabola is expressed in the form (y - k) = a (z - h)? ​

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c

i don’t see a picture

perimeter = 10 +  √10  units

explanation:

first, we will need to get the length of each line using the distance formula which is as follows:

distance = 

1- length of ab:

ab =   = 5 units

2- length of ac

length of ac is the same as ab = 5 units

3- length of bc:

bc =   =  √10  units

now, we can get the perimeter by adding the side lengths as follows:

perimeter = 5 + 5 +  √10

perimeter = 10 +  √10  units

hope this : )
