A parabola is graphed on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 2 to 10 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from negative 8 to 3 in increments of 1.

A sports analyst graphed the trajectory of a soccer ball that was kicked by a goalkeeper. In the graph, x is the ball’s distance from the goalpost, and y is the height of the ball in meters. What is the maximum height that the kicked ball reached?

I'm sorry, but I cannot see images or graphs. However, if you can provide me with the vertex of the parabola or the equation of the parabola, I can help you determine the maximum height that the kicked ball reached. The maximum height in a parabolic graph usually occurs at the vertex, which provides both the x-coordinate (distance from the goalpost) and the y-coordinate (height of the ball).
