To determine which of the given coordinate pairs is a point on the parabola defined by the equation \( y = -4x^2 - 53x - 56 \), we can substitute the \( x \)-values of the coordinate pairs into the equation and see if the resulting \( y \)-values match.
Let's evaluate each coordinate pair one by one:
-
For the point \((-4, -56)\):
- Substitute \( x = -4 \) into the equation: \[ y = -4(-4)^2 - 53(-4) - 56 \] \[ = -4(16) + 212 - 56 \] \[ = -64 + 212 - 56 \] \[ = 92 \quad (\text{not } -56) \]
-
For the point \((-1, 13)\):
- Substitute \( x = -1 \): \[ y = -4(-1)^2 - 53(-1) - 56 \] \[ = -4(1) + 53 - 56 \] \[ = -4 + 53 - 56 \] \[ = -7 \quad (\text{not } 13) \]
-
For the point \((-4, 220)\) (we already calculated \( y \) for \( x = -4 \)):
- We found \( y = 92 \), so this point does not satisfy the equation.
-
For the point \((-1, -7)\):
- We determined that when \( x = -1 \), \( y = -7 \).
Since \((-1, -7)\) matched our calculation, we can conclude:
The coordinate pair that is a point on the parabola \( y = -4x^2 - 53x - 56 \) is (-1, -7).
