Can someone please tell me how to work this? Which equation has this graph?

Here are the options. y = x2 - 6x + 5 y = -x2 - 6x + 5 y = -x2 - 6x - 5 y = x2 + 6x - 5

put that equation into your calculator if you have a graphing calculator and see where it intersects on the y and x axis. for y its when x is 0 and for x its when y is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or we can do it this way \[y=x^2-6x+5\] set y=0 and you get \[0=x^2-6x+5\] factor out and you get \[(x-5)(x-1)=0\] solve for x and you get x=5 and x=1 so the 1st option is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the process you would take to see which one of the equations matches the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
