Question
some points on the curve \\(y = -x^2 + 5\\) have been plotted.
which of the points a-f shows where the point at \\(x = 3\\) should be plotted?
Evaluate the quadratic equation at \(x = 3\)
$$
y = -x^2 + 5
$$
$$
y = -(3)^2 + 5 = -9 + 5 = -4
$$
Identify the corresponding point on the graph
The coordinates of the point are \((3, -4)\).
Match the coordinates with the plotted points
Looking at the vertical line \(x = 3\):
- Point A is at \((3, 14)\)
- Point B is at \((3, 4)\)
- Point C is at \((3, 1)\)
- Point D is at \((3, 0)\)
- Point E is at \((3, -4)\)
- Point F is at \((3, -14)\)
Therefore, point E represents the correct location.
