slope = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 10) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 18) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = = = 8

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)
