the parabola has maximum at 9, meaning is a vertical parabola and it opens downwards.
it has a symmetry at x = -5, namely its vertex's x-coordinate is -5.
check the picture below.
so then, we can pretty much tell its vertex is at (-5 , 9), and we also know it passes through (-7, 1)
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a translation 1 point up along the y axis and a compression of 4.
Moving a function up (let's use <em>h</em> for the amount of points up) would change the function as so:
Meanwhile, the compression would modify x in this case. You can eliminate any answers (A. and B.) that have no modification to x, and eliminate C., as a fraction modification would actually widen the graph instead of compress it.
Hope this helps! :]
