Question 4 of 10

Determine the opening direction of a quadratic.

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

Choose one option:

Look at a, the coefficient of x², to know the parabola's opening.

Check the coefficient of \(x^2\) in \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\) to decide the direction: negative opens downward.
