The correct statement regarding the function plotted in the graph is:
C) The maximum value of the quadratic function occurs at y = 4.
What is the rate of change of the linear function?
When x = 0, y = -7, and when x = -5, y = 8, hence the rate of change(change in y divided by change in x) is given by:
R = [8 - (-7)]/-5 - 0 = 15/-5 = -3
What is the maximum value of the quadratic function?
It is concave down, hence it has only a maximum value at y = 4 and not a minimum value, hence option C is correct.
