Question

1. The graph of (y + 6)2 = 2(x – 7) is a parabola. Which statement is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Because y is squared, or, actually, because (y + 6) is squared, we know immediately that the graph is horizontal.  Because both (y + 6)^2 and (x - 7) are positive, we know that the graph opens to the right.  (b) is correct.
