Answer:
A. y = -(x + 5)^2 + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
After a small online search, I’ve found that the options are:
A. y = -(x + 5)^2 + 4
B. y = -(x – 5)^2 + 4
C. y = -(x + 5)^2 – 4
D. y = -(x – 5)^2 – 4
For a quadratic equation with a vertex at the point (h, k) is written as:
y = a*(x – h)^2 + k
Where a is the leading coefficient.
So, if here we have the vertex at (-5, 4)
y = a*(x – (-5))^2 + 4
y = a(x + 5)^2 + 4
Then the correct option is the first one, where a = -1, then the correct option is A.
