Answer:
The value of a is 
The equation is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The function of a vertical parabola written in vertex form is equal to
where
(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola
in this problem we have
substitute in the equation
Find the value of the coefficient a
Substitute the value of x and y of the point 
in the equation
The equation is equal to
----> is a vertical parabola open downward
The answer is: [C]: -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔ .

Note that in this correct Answer choice "C" given, we have the following arrangement of numbers:
_____________________________________________________
</span>→ -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔ ;
______________________________________
We are asked to find the "Answer choice" (or, perhaps, "Answer choices?") given that show a set of numbers arranged in order from "least to greatest"; that is, starting with a value that is the smallest number in the arrangement, and sequentially progressing, in order from least to greatest, with the largest (greatest) number in the arrangement appearing as the last number in the arrangement.
______________________
Note the EACH of the 4 (four) answer choices given consists of an arrangement with ONLY one negative number, "- 0.7". Only TWO of the answer choices—Choices "B" and "C"—have an arrangement beginning with the number, "-0.7 "; So we can "rule out" the "Answer choices: [A] and [D]".
________________________
Let us examine: Answer choice: [B]: <span>-0.7, 0.35, ⅕, ⅔ ;
</span>_________________________
Note: The fraction, "⅕" = "2/10"; or, write as: 0.2 .
________________________________________
The fraction, "⅔" = 0.6666667 (that is 0.6666... repeating; so we often see a "final decimal point" rounded to "7" at some point.
___________________________________________
Through experience, one will be able to automatically look at these 2 (two) fractions and immediately know their "decimal equivalents".
____________________________________________
Otherwise, one can determine the "decimal form" of these values on a calculator by division:
_________________________
→ ⅕ = 1/5 = 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2
_________________________
→ ⅔ = 2/3 = 2 ÷ 3 = 0.6666666666666667
___________________________________
For Answer choice: [B], we have:
______________________________
→ -0.7, 0.35, ⅕, ⅔ ;
_________________________
→ So, we can "rewrite" the arrangement of "Answer choice [B]" as:
___________________________________________
→ -0.7, 0.35, 0.2, 0.666666667 ;
________________________________
→ And we can see that "Answer choice: [B]" is INCORRECT; because
"0.2" (that is, "⅕"), is LESS THAN "0.35". So, "0.35" should not come BEFORE "⅕" in the arrangement that applies correctly to the problem.
_______________________________________
Let us examine: Answer choice: [C]: -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, 0.666666667 .
____________________________________________
→ Remember from our previous— and aforementioned—examination of "Answer Choice: [B]" ; that:
____________________________
→ ⅕ = 0.2 ; and:
→ ⅔ = 0.666666667
_______________________
So, given:
____________
→ Answer choice: [C]: -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔ ;
______________________
→ We can "rewrite" this given "arrangement", substituting our known "decimal values for the fractions:
______________________________
→ Answer choice: [C]: -0.7, 0.2, 0.35, 0.666666667 ;
_________________________________________
→ As mentioned above, this sequence starts with "-0.7", which is the ONLY negative number in the sequence; as such, the next positive number is correct. Nonetheless, "0.2" (or, "(⅕") is the next number in the sequence, and is greater than "-0.7". The next number is "0.35. "0.35" is greater than "⅕" (or, "0.2"). Then next number is "(⅔)" (or, "0.666666667").
"(⅔)"; (or, "0.666666667") is greater than 0.35.
____________________________
This set of numbers: "-0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔" ; is arranged in order from least to greatest; which is "Answer choice: [C]: -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔" ; the correct answer.

Answer:
-80
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to do the parentheses first because it's part of PEDMAS.
-2x-5= 10
Next, we take 10 times -8
-8 x 10= -80
There you go! Hope this helps!
