That's correct. Do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, a is a negative constant, so the parabola should be facing downward

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since -c is a negative constant, is its y-intercept negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, that's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

next problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure as always. You don't have to ask this question every time you solved your problem, lol.
