Question 3 of 10

Determine the opening direction of a parabola.

‹ ›

\( \text{Which direction does the graph } y = -2(x - 1)^2 + 7 \text{ open?} \)

Choose one option:

Check the sign of a to determine the direction.

If \(a < 0\) in \(y = a(x-h)^2 + k\), the parabola opens downward; if \(a > 0\), it opens upward.
