Question

Select the correct answer. A parabola has an x-intercept of -1, a y Intercept of -3, and a minimum of 4 at x = 1. Which graph matches this description? ​

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

If the parabola has an x-intercept of -1, we are looking for the curve to intercept the x-axis at x = -1

Graphs A and D both have x-intercepts at x = -1

If the parabola has a y-intercept of -3, we are looking for the curve to intercept the y-axis at y = -3

The only graph with a y-intercept at y = -3 is Graph D

FYI the minimum of Graph D is at (1, -4)
