– 4AC < 0 and B = 0 and A = C. Since A = 4,
C must also equal 4.
The correct answer is C.
Write each pair of parametric equations in
rectangular form. Then graph the equation.

SOLUTION:
Solve for t.

x + 5 = t
Substitute for t.

foci (–2, 1), (–2, –9); length of major axis is 12
y = 3t − 4
y = 3(x + 5) − 4
SOLUTION:
y = 3x + 15 − 4
The distance between the foci is 2c.
y = 3x + 11
2c = |1 − (–9)|
