Answer:

First graph

Explanation:

First off, the graph opens up because a is positive. Second, the parent function of the quadratic graph is
\displaystyle y = x^2,and the greater the WHOLE NUMBERS [vertical stretch (a)] get, the slimmer the parabola gets, and the more you increase the DEGREE evenly [anything ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, and\or 8], the more flat, U-shaped the parabola becomes.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
