Let's start with the first statement: "The degree of the function is even."
This statement is true as both ends of the graph are approaching negative infinity and is resembles y=x^2 (an even degree function).
Second Statement: "The leading coefficient is negative." This is also true has this parabola is faced downwards, meaning it is negative. Also, a quadratic that has a maximum as its vertex is always going to be a negative function.
