<h3>
Answer: Negative</h3>
Reason:
The template 
applies to any quadratic to graph out a parabola. The coefficient for the x^2 term is 'a', and it solely determines whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
If 'a' is negative, then the parabola opens downward. The way to remember this is that 'a' being negative forms a negative frown.
On the other hand if 'a' is positive, then it forms a positive smile, and the parabola opens upward.
In this case, the points are fairly close to a parabola opening downward. This means 'a' is negative and a < 0.
Since the second line is parallel to the first, it will have the same slope. The y-intercept of the new line is 4 (because of the coordinates given) so the equation of Lynda's second cut is y = 1/4x + 4 which is choice C
Answer:
<em>Last option </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The general sine function has the following form
Where A is the amplitude: half the vertical distance between the highest peak and the lowest peak of the wave.
is the period: time it takes the wave to complete a cycle.
k is the vertical displacement.
phase shift
We know that:
amplitude: 1; period: 2; phase shift: 3; vertical shift: 4
Thus:
Then the function is:
The answer is last option
2 is the correct answer I believe
