Question

Help!!! Graph equation and tell whether it is linear

Answer 1

y= -x^2+1

Answer 2

there is a distinction between
linear
quadratic
do on...

Answer 3

y= mx + b

Ax^2+By + C = 0

Answer 4

o whats the y intercept?

Answer 5

you got that there

Answer 6

so the

x^2

draw a table of values

Answer 7

it will be easier to understand

such that

if
x was then , output of y
--------------------------
2 4

you can do the rest

Answer 8

Graphical form: simplifies to
Text form: y=-x^2+1 simplifies to y+x^2-1=0
Cartoon (animation) form:
For tutors: simplify_cartoon( y=-x^2+1 )

Answer 9

Unless you can make sense of that Ashley1998, much of that (what you found on algebra.com) is a bit cryptic and odd in my opinion. Also, it might be more than what you're looking for.

Basically this is NOT linear equation because it's a quadratic. It graphs a curved parabola which is NOT a straight line.

The graph can be found by plotting a bunch of points and drawing a curve through every point

When x = 0, y is

y = -x^2 + 1

y = -(0)^2 + 1

y = 0 + 1

y = 1

So one point is (0,1)

When x = 1, y is

y = -x^2 + 1

y = -(1)^2 + 1

y = -1 + 1

y = 0


When x = 2, y is

y = -x^2 + 1

y = -(2)^2 + 1

y = -4 + 1

y = -3


Etc etc

Do this for x values from x = -3 to x = 3 to get the table


x y
----------------------
-3 -8
-2 -3
-1 0
0 1
1 0
2 -3
3 -8

Giving you the points

(-3,-8), (-2, -3), (-1, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (2, -3), (3, -8)

Answer 10

So plot the following points on the xy axis to get
