I think it's just determining what the negative means. Negative with the x axis means to the left (because the left side is negative). Negative with the y axis is down (because the down side is negative.) So once you know that, it's obviously D because both are negative.
I hope that helped!

Hey there! :)
5/8 ÷ 3/2 = (5/8 × 2/3) = 10/24 = 5/12
5/12 × 2/3 = 10/36 = 5/18
Your answer is 5/18
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
The parabola will reflect over the x axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
By setting the "a" value to a negative number, you will be inverting the f(x) values, in other words making a parabola open downwards, or a direct reflection over the x axis of the parent formula.
Take f(x)=1x^{2}+0 for example.
if we plug in 1 for x f(x) will equal 1
however if we make the a value negative
f(x)= -1x^{2}+0
and set x equal to 1,
you should see that f(x) is now -1
