Question 9 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 CR

The graph of y = –0.2x2 is the graph of y = x2.

Answer
A
narrower than and opens in the same direction as
B
wider than and opens in the same direction as
C
narrower than and opens in the opposite direction of
D
wider than and opens in the opposite direction of

Explanation

The coefficient of x² in y = –0.2x² is negative, so the parabola opens downward, opposite to y = x², which opens upward. Its absolute value, 0.2, is less than 1, so the parabola is wider than y = x². Therefore, the graph is wider and opens in the opposite direction.
