Answer:

The y-value is 1 less than the square of the x-value,

Explanation:

if we follow the letters and convert them into numbers we will get:

y-value=y

1 less than=-1

square of x value=x^2

so

we put the number in order according to the words:

y value=1 less than the square of x

so

y=x^2-1

hope this helps!
