Question

Tempestt graphs a function that has a maximum located at (–4, 2). Which could be her graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 2 = -(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A max at (-4, 2) could very well be the vertex (as well as the max) of a parabola that opens down.  The vertex form of a parabola is:

y - k = a(x - h), where (h, k) is the vertex or maximum.

Given that our max is at (-4, 2), write:  y - 2 = -(x + 4), with that " - " sign stemming from the fact that the parabola opens down.
