Answer:
(c) The graph starts flat but curves steeply upward.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The graph is a straight line that has a slope of 8
In the table, the value y increases. there is no constant increase in y
So The graph is not a straight line
(b) The graph is a horizontal line at y = 16
For y=16 graph, the value of y remains the same
The value of y changes in the table
So the graph is not a horizontal line
(c) The graph starts flat but curves steeply upward.
The value of y on the table increases rapidly. So we can say that graph starts flat and curves steeply upward.
(d) The graph is a parabola that opens upward.
There is no vertex mentioned in the table. the y values goes on increasing.
In parabola, the graph increases and then decreases or vice versa .
So the graph of given table is not a parabola
