Answer 1

Option B)

y to the
`2^(nd)` power -
`(28)/(7)`

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

"the square of y decreased by the quotient of 28 and 7"

We can write this in the form of expression as:

`y^2 - (28)/(7)\\\\=y^2 - 4`

Thus, the correct expression is given by

Option B)

y to the
`2^(nd)` power -
