Answer:

B. The graph flips over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plot the coordinate pair (x, y), you plot the point 'y' units above the x-axis. If you change the sign of that (multiply the function by -1), then the point becomes (x, -y), and is plotted 'y' units below the x-axis.

The graph flips over the x-axis.

Attached is an example of a function with its original graph (red) and the graph after being multiplied by -1 (blue). The blue graph is a reflection of the red graph across the x-axis.

Answer:

It would be option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because option 1 does not have a irrational number that goes on indefinitely, option three has the square root of 25, which equals 5 meaning it is rational, and the last option also gives us rational choices. Therefore, the only possibility is that it would be option 2.

-36y=x^2 The directrix of the parabola is:

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Here, the equation of parabola is: (-36y)=x^2
The standard form of parabola is:

(X-h)^2=4p(y-k).
According to given equation, vertex = (0,0) and p = -9
This a vertical parabola opening down, because p = -9 here.
Therefore ditectrix will be y= -9
