Answer 9

y = -3(x-2)^3 + 24

As you can see this is a cubic curve. You will have to know what the general y = x^3 curve and y = -x^3 curve looks like. Here the curve will look more like the y = -x^3 curve just shifted to the right by 2 units, shifted up by 24 units and vertically stretched by a factor of 3.

First find the y-intercept by setting x = 0
Then find the x-intercept by setting y = 0.
