Find the length of the line segments whose endpoints are provided determined whether the line segments are horizontal or vertical and explain your reasoning

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is a if my teacher taught me correct

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)
