If you want to cheat, paste the formula in Wolfram Alpha. However, this one is not that difficult. From the fact that x and y are squared you can infer that this is a circle. The 9 reveals that the radius r^2 is 9, so radius is 3.
The (x-2) tells us that the circle is shifted to the right by 2. Likewise, y+1 shifts it down by one. So the center is at (2,-1). If the equation would be x^2 + y^2 = 9, you'd have a circle exactly on the origin.
Hopefully this helps you break down the equation and pick the right picture!
A.) y = ut - 1/2gt^2 + 12
y = 6t - 1/2(9.8)t^2 + 12
y = 6t - 4.9t^2 + 12
b.) The y-intercept is 12
c.) The y-intercept represent the height of the ball at time t = 0
d.) At the time the ball reaches the ground, y = 0
-4.9t^2 + 6t + 12 = 0
t = 2.29 seconds
Therefore, it took the ball 2.29 seconds to reach the ground.
A is your answer tell me if I am wrong.
