Answer:

An ellipse

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a cone and make a diagonal cut through it, removing a very thin slice. The result is an ellipse.

a /\

/ \

/ \ b

/ \

Make a straight line from a to b, it will make an elliptical shape. If we cut perfectly horizontally, we would get a circle, when we angle the cut of our cross section, the shape gets more and more elliptical depending on the angle of the cut

What is the equation of the graph below? A graph shows a parabola that opens up and crosses the x axis at negative two and negat

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

$y=(x+3)^{2} -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of a parabola that opens up is $y=a(x-h)^{2} +k$ , a>0

So equation becomes $y=(x-h)^{2} +k$ which implies option A and option B can never be true for this parabola.

Also this parabola's vertex lies in 3rd quadrant where coordinates of both x and y will be negative.

So, the equation of parabola will be of the form $y=(x+h)^{2} - k$

Hence, option 4 that is $y=(x+3)^{2} -1$ is correct.
