Answer:

y = -4/25·x^2/(cos(θ)² +tan(θ)x; parabola

Explanation:

Ballistic motion in rectangular coordinates is almost always modeled by a downward-opening parabola. That only leaves the second and third equations as possible answers. The coefficient of x² in the second equation is positive, so that is not the answer.

The appropriate choice is the third one, ...

y = -4/25·x²/cos(θ)² +tan(θ)x; parabola
