Hi there!

We are given the equation:
x² - 2y = 7
To verify if each ordered pair is apart of the function, we can plug in their respective x and y values:
1. (5)² - 2(8) = 7
25 - 16 = 9 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.
2. (-1)² - 2(-3) = 7
1 + 6 = 7. This is correct.
3. (-4)² - 2(-11.5) = 7
16 + 23 = 39 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.
4. (1.2)² - 2(-2.78) = 7
1.44 +5.56 = 7. This is correct.
Thus, only 1 and 4 are the correct answers.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take
& factorise it at first.

Now factorise the next set :
.

Now, multiply the two simplified results.


The correct answer is x because u have to look on the x axis

if you have already covered slopes, you could also get it that way, in fact is simpler that way.
Hello!
We are trying to describe the behavior of the graph given in the question.
To help us understand how to solve this question, we would need to understand <u>concavity.</u>
There are two types of concavity:
- Concave <em>up</em>
- Concave <em>down</em>
When a graph is concave up, the slope of the line would look like a "U".
When a graph is concave down, the slope of the line would look like a "U" that is flipped upside down.
In this case, we can see that the graph is concave down.
We can tell that the <em>slope</em> is negative due to the fact that the slope is going <u>down,</u> which results in the graph having a negative slope.
We can also tell that the graph is decreasing due to the fact that the line is doing downward.
Answer:
C). negative and decreasing
