-(1/4) x2 = y . . . putting this in the standard form x2 = 4cy it becomes : x2 = 4*(-1)y = -4y. This tells us that the parabola is a downward opening parabola with its vertex at the origin(0.0). The focus is at a distance of -1 from the vertex, that is (0,-1). The directrix is equidistant to the focus but on the opposite side of the vertex and is thus the line y = 1. The length of the chord passing through the focus and perpendicular to the major axis is called the Latus Rectum and has a length of 4c. As c = -1 then the length is 4 but again shows as a negative value as it is "below" the vertex.
It is +1
That will depend on what x represents which has not been given.
When a given set of values for the variables are substituted in the expression the result is the value of the expression.
Given a value of x, find the value for -3x + 2
