Answer:

2nd graph

Explanation:

First of all, let's recognize that these 2 equations are that of a "parabola" and a "circle".

The equation of parabola is in the form
y=x^2

If we have:

y = x^2 + b where b is a constant, this means the parabola is shifted b units up.

Let's rearrange the first equation:


x^2+y=7\\y=-x^2+7

Note: the negative in front of x^2 makes it an "UPSIDE DOWN U SHAPED PARABOLA". Also this is shifted 7 units up.

Now, looking at the answer choices, we can eliminate:

1st and last [ because these 2 are upward facing ]

Now, the equation of a circle. The general form is:


x^2+y^2=r^2

The equation given is in this form, so the radius is
√(49)=7

So that means, the circle is centered at origin and goes 7 units in all directions.

Between the 2nd and 3rd picture, we see that 2nd one is right since the circle coincides with the parabola up top and that is both 7 units as we have seen from our discussion.

Hence,

2nd graph is the correct one.
