To determine which statements are true based on the graph of the parabola, we can analyze the given options:
- The c-value of the equation in standard form is -1.
- The c-value of the equation in standard form is -10.
In standard form, \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\), the c-value represents the y-intercept of the parabola. If the parabola intersects the y-axis at -10, then the c-value would be -10. If it intersects at -1, then the c-value would be -1. Without the image, we cannot definitively select between these two.
- The a-value is negative.
A parabola opens upwards if the a-value is positive and downwards if it is negative. If the graph shows that the parabola opens downwards, then this statement is true.
- The vertex is located at (3, −10).
The vertex is the highest or lowest point of the parabola. Depending on the graph's peak or trough point, you can check if it aligns with the point (3, -10).
To finalize the correct answers, the relevant information from the image is needed. If the y-intercept is at -10, then the second statement about the c-value is true. If the parabola opens downward, then the a-value is negative. The vertex statement needs confirmation from the graph.
Without seeing the graph, I cannot provide a definitive answer, but I suggest checking the y-intercept, the direction of the parabola, and the vertex point in the graph to choose the correct options.
