Question

Graph the equation y=−5(x)2+1 . Which of the following statements about the graph is correct?(1 point)ResponsesThe parabola will open downwards.The parabola will open downwards.The parabola will have a vertex at (−1,0) .The parabola will have a vertex at left parenthesis negative 1 comma 0 right parenthesis .The parabola will have a vertex at (1,0) .The parabola will have a vertex at left parenthesis 1 comma 0 right parenthesis .The parabola will have a vertex at (0,0) .The parabola will have a vertex at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis

Answer 1

Correct choice: "The parabola will open downwards."

Reason: The coefficient of x^2 is -5 (negative), so the parabola opens downward. (Its vertex is at (0,1), not any of the vertex choices listed.)
