Question

A parabola is graphed on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 5 to 1 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from negative 7 to 10 in increments of 1.

Determine the value of the constant term of the quadratic function in standard form, given its graph.

is
.

Answer 1

To determine the value of the constant term \( c \) in the standard form of the quadratic function \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), we need to find the y-intercept of the parabola.

The y-intercept occurs when \( x = 0 \). From the graph of a parabola, you can identify the point where the curve crosses the y-axis. The \( y \)-coordinate of this point gives the value of \( c \).

Since I cannot see the image, I suggest looking at the graph carefully. Find the point on the y-axis (where \( x = 0 \)) and note its value. This value will be the constant term \( c \).

If you can provide the coordinate of the y-intercept, I can confirm the value for you.
